Rather than a scene from the White House itself, this is a studio portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt made by the Bachrach firm, a commercial studio known for official and society portraits in the early twentieth century. The caption card links the picture to the White House and to the presidential wives collection, so it likely reflects her role as First Lady during her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency from 1933 to 1945. Her tenure was unusually active: she held regular press conferences, spoke openly on social and civil rights issues, and later helped draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The record does not give a date, so the portrait's exact year is unknown.
