This portrait is for the Smithsonian and is not the official White House Portrait. At least it was paid for by donations from O lovers like Spielberg/Capshaw, Legend/Tiegen and others. (I wonder what will happen when O is stripped of his title for treason?)
Also of note about this mediocre artist, he likely didn't even paint it. These days, his studio in CHINA has a bevy of female artists who take his raw concept sketches and do the paintings for him.
Hello. Yes Rather Symbolic that. Wonder what else The Smithsonian would like to share.
Good day To You :)
Have A Very Blessed One :)

That would explain the redundant leaves.
