Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden invited Mr Obama and the former first lady back to their former home to unveil their official portraits.
Barack and Michelle Obama returned to the White House for the first time since 2017, and Wednesday's portrait unveiling revives a tradition last celebrated 10 years ago.
Artist Robert McCurdy painted the former president, while artist Sharon Sprung painted the former first lady.
The two official portraits are unlike any others in the White House collection.
Sharon Sprung, an instructor at the Art Students League of New York, is a realist painter of the old school.
