Franklin D. Roosevelt stands here in three-quarter length, flanked by Eleanor Roosevelt and a man the record does not identify, with the president turned slightly to his left. The catalog date is given with a question mark, so the photograph is usually placed around 1943, the middle of his third term, when the country was deep in the Second World War and Roosevelt was directing the war effort from Washington. Portraits like this one were widely circulated in those years to show a unified leadership at home. Because the sitter's companion is unnamed, the picture also invites a closer look at the people who stood alongside the president at official occasions.
