Washington — The White House unveiled a new portrait of President Trump on Monday, showing him in a slightly different light than the portrait released ahead of his inauguration in January.
In the latest portrait, Mr. Trump wears his signature red tie and his face is accentuated by deep shadowing.

Mr. Trump’s face was more brightly illuminated in the portrait released earlier this year by his presidential transition office, and he wore a blue tie. The earlier photograph had the American flag in the background, while Mr. Trump is featured in front of a black backdrop in the newer version.
Both photographs were taken by chief White House photographer Daniel Torok.

The White House shared a short video on Monday of the new portrait being hung in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, with few details about why it was updated.
A White House official told CBS News that the updated portrait will soon replace the official photographs of Mr. Trump that have already been hung in federal buildings and offices.
The new version has already been updated on the White House’s website.
The official portrait from Mr. Trump’s first term, taken in 2017, captures him smiling broadly in front of an American flag, wearing a blue tie.
