Jackson Portrait in Situ, Lincoln Bedroom

This photograph by Bates Littlehales shows a portrait of President Andrew Jackson hanging in the Lincoln Bedroom in April 1962, during the John F. Kennedy administration. The portrait of Jackson was painted by Miner Kilbourne Kellogg circa 1840. Kellogg also painted portraits of presidents James K. Polk and Martin Van Buren. The two chairs were also likely used by President Lincoln in this room, then known as the Cabinet Room.
