White House Housekeeper in the Yellow Oval Room
This photograph is of an unidentified housekeeper cleaning the Yellow Oval Room. George F. Mobley captured the photograph in March 1963 during the John F. Kennedy administration. The Yellow Oval Room has served as a family library, study, and sitting room. Under the direction of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, it was made into a formal drawing room for the first family. The room is also where the president greets guests of honor before State Dinners. The room's color scheme echoes the yellow damask furnishings and curtains selected by First Lady Dolley Madison.
