East Room, Donald Trump Administration

This photograph of the East Room was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on July 20, 2017, during the Donald Trump administration. The East Room is located on the State Floor of the Executive Mansion. The room is the largest room in the White House and is often used as a ceremonial space. The room is painted white and has 18th-century French and English-inspired ornate walls and ceiling. To make way for temporary furniture for ceremonies and holiday decorations, the East Room is usually sparsely furnished. This photograph captures the east wall of the room, where Harriet A.S. Murphy's portrait of William McKinley and Eliphalet Frazer Andrew's portrait of Martha Washington hang.
