The White House unveiled President Donald Trump’s official portrait this week, replacing an austere photograph that was released for the president’s inauguration earlier this year
Introduced in an eight-second video by the White House Monday, June 2, the portrait depicts the president in a blue suit and a red tie against a black backdrop, looking at the camera with a furrowed brow and serious expression.
The image is high-contrast, darkly lit and close-up to the president’s face.
The portrait’s lack of background and Trump’s unsmiling gaze further differentiates it from those of his predecessors.
Nearly all of the last 10 presidents have all smiled in their portraits, ranging from President Richard Nixon’s beaming expression to President George W. Bush’s grin.
Trump’s official portrait for his first term was more closely aligned with the traditional portrait style − featuring a smile and a background with the American flag.
The new official portrait was installed in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and replaced the previous photograph on the White House’ biography page for the 47th president.
