Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

Portrait of Barack and Michelle Obama seated on a couch in their home in Hyde Park, Chicago. Barack Obama, wearing a dark shirt and khaki pants, is sitting casually, his legs crossed with his right arm draped across the couch back, and his left arm around Michelle Obama. Dressed in black leggings and a black shirt with white buttons, she leans into him with her ankles crossed and hands resting on his right knee. They both gaze directly at the viewer. Behind them, three Indonesian prints decorate the walls above the couch and a traditional West African sculpture sits on an end table to the proper right.
