The portrait is in the China Room at the White House. There are black and white copies of it which were sold during the Eastern Conference in 1924 as a fundraiser for the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School. The cost was $2; $3 if signed by Grace. I've seen some still on display in the houses of older (chartered prior to 1920) chapters.

There is also a large panoramic shot of the 1,100+ guests (all women except for the artist, Howard Chandler Christy) taken on the lawn of the White House. Grace is front row center, the only woman not wearing a hat.
