This oil on canvas portrait of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was painted by Douglas Chandor. Her husband, Franklin Roosevelt, was president from March 4, 1933, until his death on April 12, 1945, a span of time that included the Great Depression and World War II. Mrs. Roosevelt advocated for many causes during her years in the White House. She also held female only press conferences, traveled extensively, and wrote a syndicated newspaper column. Following her time as first lady, Mrs. Roosevelt was appointed as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly and was the first chair of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. There, she co-drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 1949, Mrs. Roosevelt first sat for her portrait in Chandor's New York City, New York, studio. The White House Historical Association purchased the portrait for the White House Collection from the artist's widow in 1965. On February 4, 1966, First Lady Lady Bird Johnson invited more than 250 guests to the White House for the presentation of Mrs. Roosevelt's official portrait. Joseph J. Scherschel photographed the portrait in August 1965 at the time of its acquisition into the White House Collection.
