President Trump, whose photo temporarily hangs there, would like the gallery to commission a second painted portrait to replace one done after his first term but never exhibited.By Zachary Small and Robin PogrebinFeb. 13, 2026The unveiling of an official presidential portrait is typically a ceremonial event, one that places a former president in the long line of leaders who have piloted the United States for almost 250 years. But the portrait of Donald Trump, painted just after he left office in 2021, has never been publicly seen for a number of reasons.Now add to the list another possible cause for the delay in that portrait\u2019s unveiling: Mr. Trump, re-elected to a second term, would like a different one.\u201cPresident Trump was appreciative of the portrait created for his 45th term, and looks forward to seeing the completion of a portrait that will encapsulate both his 45th and 47th presidential terms,\u201d a White House spokesman, Davis Ingle, confirmed in a statement.The Smithsonian\u2019s National Portrait Gallery typically commissions an artist to make an official portrait after a president has left office. It is often hung a year or two later in a special exhibition, \u201cAmerica\u2019s Presidents.\u201dBut the first Trump portrait it commissioned, by the artist Ronald Sherr, was never exhibited. By the time the work was accepted by the gallery in 2022, just after Mr. Sherr\u2019s death, Mr. Trump had already announced he would run again for president. The gallery traditionally does not hang a painted portrait until a president has permanently left office.It is unclear why exactly Mr. Trump \u2014 who had approved the use of Mr. Sherr as his portraitist \u2014 now prefers a different image to represent his presidency when he leaves office. White House officials said Mr. Trump views Mr. Sherr\u2019s portrait \u2014 which depicts Mr. Trump at a rally with the White House in the background \u2014 as a vestige of his first term, and believes it would be more appropriate for a newly commissioned portrait to represent his entire time in office.A White House spokesman said the administration has discussed a possible second portrait with the Portrait Gallery, but a spokeswoman for the gallery said the institution was unaware of such a request.ImageBarack Obama as painted by Kehinde Wiley.Credit...Gabriella Demczuk for The New York TimesImageBill Clinton by Chuck Close.Credit...Astrid Riecken for The Washington Post, via Getty ImagesMr. Sherr\u2019s family said they still hoped that his work would be seen by the public, and Lois Sherr, his widow, said her husband had told her that the president had spoken warmly of the finished product.\u201cWhat sets this portrait by Ron apart,\u201d Ms. Sherr said, \u201cis that he captured Trump\u2019s movement, energy and feeling of absolute resolve.\u201dFounded in 1962 and opened in 1968, the Portrait Gallery has over the years assembled the only complete public collection of presidential portraits outside the White House.The \u201cAmerica\u2019s Presidents\u201d exhibition contains at least one artwork for every president, but the National Portrait Gallery didn\u2019t start commissioning original works until 1994, when it hired Mr. Sherr to paint George H.W. Bush. Separate portraits of first ladies are also commissioned.In preparing the portraits, the museum works closely with the White House, allowing the president to choose the artist. Official portraits are unveiled and installed only after presidents have left office \u201cto commemorate their time in the White House,\u201d a gallery spokeswoman said. President Biden\u2019s portrait has been commissioned \u2014 from an undisclosed artist \u2014 but the timeline for its unveiling has not been set.ImageGrover Cleveland by Eastman Johnson.Credit...via National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian InstitutionThe only president besides Mr. Trump to have served a nonconsecutive second term was Grover Cleveland, decades before the Portrait Gallery was established. An 1884 painting of him by Eastman Johnson was given to the Smithsonian in 1971 by Cleveland\u2019s family.Not all presidents have been satisfied with the portraits that have come to hang in the Smithsonian. Theodore Roosevelt thought his made him look \u201cmeek,\u201d \u201ceffeminate\u201d and overly aristocratic; Richard Nixon thought his overemphasized his jowls; Lyndon Johnson said his was \u201cthe ugliest thing I ever saw.\u201dMs. Sherr said her husband traveled to Mar-a-Lago in Florida in April 2021 for an initial meeting with Mr. Trump. After receiving his approval, she said, Mr. Sherr returned five months later for a series of four painting sessions, during which he started putting together the composition.\u201cRon was struck, time and again, that the strongest images were those of Trump at his rallies,\u201d Ms. Sherr said. \u201cHe always felt that Donald Trump looked the most energized and presidential in those pictures.\u201dThe portrait, she said, ended up including the many flags that often appeared behind the president at his assemblies, with the White House in the background. \u201cTrump\u2019s eye was always on the White House during the rallies, both before he became president and again, not long after he left office,\u201d she said. \u201cIt seemed fitting.\u201dImageGeorge H.W. Bush by Ronald Sherr.Credit...Al Drago for The New York TimesImageLyndon B. Johnson by Peter Hurd.Credit...History\/Universal Images Group via Getty ImagesThe portrait was paid for with $650,000 raised by a political action committee affiliated with the president, which donated the funds to the Smithsonian Institution. The museum approved the work two days after Mr. Sherr\u2019s death in a Hong Kong hospital from pneumonia, with an underlying condition of small cell carcinoma of the lymph system, according to his family.Early this year, administration officials asked that the Trump portrait, which had been held by the Portrait Gallery, be sent over to the White House, where officials said it remains.In the \u201cAmerica\u2019s Presidents\u201d exhibition now, there is a photograph of Mr. Trump, a customary place holder until a president leaves office and an official portrait is commissioned.ImageA painting of Mr. Trump in tennis whites has hung in the bar at Mar-a-Lago.Credit...Eric Thayer for The New York TimesThe photograph, which shows Mr. Trump standing over the Resolute Desk in his office, was not the first one displayed by the Smithsonian. Last month, the Portrait Gallery agreed to install it to replace a photo that the president did not like as much. At the same time, the museum removed wall text that referred to his two impeachments \u2014 language that had upset the White House.When the change was noted, the Portrait Gallery released a statement.\u201cFor some new exhibitions and displays, the museum has been exploring quotes or tombstone labels, which provide only general information, such as the artist\u2019s name,\u201d the statement said. \u201cThe history of presidential impeachments continues to be represented in our museums.\u201dA White House spokesman did not respond to requests for The New York Times to see or photograph the painting.What any new portrait might look like is unknown, but Mr. Trump has shown favor toward other images of him over the years, such as a painting of him in tennis whites that has hung in the bar at Mar-a-Lago.Zachary Small is a Times reporter writing about the art world\u2019s relationship to money, politics and technology.Robin Pogrebin, who has been a reporter for The Times for 30 years, covers arts and culture.A version of this article appears in print on Feb. 14, 2026, Section C, Page 1 of the New York edition with the headline: President Trump Wants a New Portrait.
