This half-length portrait shows Emma Garland Morgan Fall turned to the right, a pose typical of the Washington, D.C., studio Harris & Ewing, which made many formal portraits of officials and their families. Her husband, Albert Bacon Fall, was Secretary of the Interior under President Warren G. Harding from 1921 to 1923, so the picture was made while he held that post. Within a few years, his tenure became the center of the Teapot Dome scandal over the leasing of federal oil reserves, and he was later convicted of accepting bribes, the first former cabinet officer imprisoned for a crime committed in office.
