On January 20, new President Joe Biden visited the White House's Oval Office and signed the first executive decrees. The media had the opportunity to admire the change in the way the President's office was decorated.
Accordingly, in the Sports room, the portrait of Andrew Jackson on the left of Resolute Desk was previously replaced by a portrait of Benjamin Franklin by Joseph Duplessis. Like other works that are often lent to the White House, the portrait appears to have been lent from the Smithsonian National Portraithibition, according to CNN.
According to the Washington Post, the first newspaper to report on the new interior decoration of the Department of Medicine, a portrait of Franklin and a near moon rock shows Joe Biden's interest in science.
A bronze half-life statue of labor leader Cesar Chavez was also placed on the shelves behind the desk of the new US President. Elizabeth Strater, a spokesperson for United Farm Worker - a group founded by Chavez - told Fresno Bee that the semi-fleshed statue was previously displayed in the Tourist Center of Cesar E. Chavez National Monument in Keene, California. The spokesperson said that Joe Biden's transit team worked with the Cesar Chavez Foundation to transport the statue.
On the right of the Decree table, Mr. Joe Biden placed a painting "Avenue in the Rain" in the White House painting collection.
Although not seen through the lens of the press, according to the Washington Post, the half- body statue of Father Martin Martin Martin Martin Martin Martin King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy was also placed next to a fireplace in the Sports room. There are also half- body statues by Rosa Parks, shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar shar

Other parts of the office now feature paintings by George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and the half- body statue of Daniel Webster, a former congressman.
There are two notable items on the Enrollment table when Mr. Biden takes office, clearly reflecting the transition of power: A cup of water and a plate with a pencil box to sign the decrees. Previously, Donald Trump was a carbonated drinker and rarely saw a cup of tea or coffee next to his desk. For a long time, Mr. Trump has also used a thick, black spacer to sign on official government documents.
During the signing of the executive decree on January 20, new US President Joe Biden sat on a dark brown chair, unlike the red-brown chair that Mr. Trump sat on during his final photo at the Oval Office.
The Biden family has also chosen at least two Trump-era furniture replacements in the Oval Office, including a blue room mat and a darker golden door curtain. Other items are all familiar and seem to have been selected from the White House collection.
The photos behind President Joe Biden are mostly family photos, including his late son, Beau Biden.
