White House releases Melania Trump’s official First Lady portrait
On Monday, the White House released Melania Trump’s official portrait as the First Lady of the United States.
Both Michelle Obama and Melania Trump have shifted away from the traditional painting medium for portraits for the First Ladies. Lady Bird Johnson was the only other First Lady to use a photograph for her portrait, while all the other First Ladies have had paintings commissioned.
