Great photograph of President Biden, and such an interesting photographic composition. The oil painting--would you say that's in the "background? It's practically level with the president, almost like he's talking to them. What is going on in that painting? That's President William McKinley, assassinated, in the white shirt. President Garfield, assassinated, with the beard looking over the seated man signing something.Who is that guy? I can't place him as a president. And the man sitting next to him, his face obscured accidentally-on-purpose by the creative photographer's flash, much a bigger man than the Seated Signer. Behind Garfield, over his left shoulder, who might that be? And why is he looking at McKinley? Everybody else in the painting is looking at the Seated Signer. Next to the guy infatuated with McKinley...Wow. That guy looks bleached out from a sunbeam coming through the windows, doesn't he? That light source makes perfect sense except it makes no sense. The window's not real. The window is in the painting. That light source does not read as camera flash, however. The photographer is seated directly in front of Biden and the painting. His camera's flash--No, I don't think that is camera flash, it's too fuzzy, too gray, it looks like a cloud of tobacco smoke. Maybe the guy caught in the sunbeam is painted as caught in a sunbeam. Then what did the painter intend with the guy seated next to the Signer. Idk, Pilgrim. Finally, the prissy guy standing over the Signer. That is Aide, generic, everyman Aide. Somebody real but that guy was born am Aide. No, I'm not going to research it. I like the mystery. Damn New York Times got some talented people! Just not at the COVID desk.
