Former President Barack Obama declared a family reunion at the White House on Wednesday, Sept. 7, as official portraits of him and former First Lady Michelle Obama were unveiled during a ceremony in the East Room.
“It’s great to be back,” Obama declared in a ceremony that included several officials and staffers from his administration.
The former first lady’s portrait was painted by Sharon Sprung, while Robert McCurdy painted the former president. “Portraits that connect our history to the present day. Portraits that hang here as history continues to be made. So, for me, this day is not just about what has happened. It’s also about what could happen because a girl like me, she was never supposed to be up there next to Jacqueline Kennedy and Dolley Madison.
