Pres. Biden is reviving the presidential portrait tradition, planning to host a White House ceremony later this year for the unveiling of fmr. Pres. Obama’s official portrait, sources familiar with discussions say.

The unveiling of presidential portraits in the East Room typically include a couple hundred guests. Currently the White House is not holding events of that size, and the person familiar with the process said that, at this point, it’s better to wait because “it would be a shame to do it and have only six or seven people there.”

Trump also broke longstanding tradition in January by declining to attend Biden’s inauguration, instead flying to Florida before his successor was sworn in. “We are working with both the National Portrait Gallery and the White House Historical Association, and our progress is consistent with historical precedent,” an adviser to the former president said.

Presidential portraits for the National Portrait Gallery are similarly funded by the museum. They’re typically unveiled in an event at the museum less than two years after a president and first lady leave the White House. President George W. Bush was out of office for less than a year when he and his wife, Laura, participated in theirs, while the Obamas attended a ceremony at the museum for their portraits 13 months after leaving the White House.
