Eleanor Roosevelt sits for this head-and-shoulders portrait taken straight on, a formal study made in the summer of 1933, shortly after her husband took office as president. The record gives the date as July 20, 1933, and the print is held in the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs Division. Portraits like this one were a staple of official and press photography in the 1930s, when the First Lady was becoming a figure of public attention in her own right, traveling widely and writing a syndicated newspaper column. The frontal pose and plain background keep the focus on her expression and face.
