Clinton portraits done by Simmie Knox
 
-who is the first Black American artist to have presidential portraits displayed in the White House.


"The oil paintings are both by Simmie Knox, a former sharecropper and the first African-American to paint a presidential portrait for the mansion. The former president is depicted in the Oval Office, standing in front of a desk. His wife has her hand resting on a chair."
