Colin Powell is shown here in a full-length standing pose, turned to face left, in an official White House portrait made sometime between 1980 and 1993. The record ties him to his military service, a career that carried him from Army field commands to the top of the armed forces. Powell rose to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1989, and he served in that post during the first Bush administration, which explains the White House portraiture. Official photographs like this one were typically made to document senior officials and give the public a standard visual record of the people who held those offices.
