Eleanor Roosevelt sits for this head-and-shoulders portrait turned slightly to the right, a formal studio-style view that suits the period's conventions for official and public portraiture. The record dates it to around July 20, 1933, a few months after her husband took office as president in March of that year, when she was becoming one of the most closely watched women in the country. The Library of Congress holds the print in its Prints and Photographs Division, where portraits of this era are valued for showing how public figures presented themselves to a national audience during the Depression.
