The United States Treasury Building is visible in the background. For their first year in the White House, President Joseph R. Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden chose the theme, "Gifts from the Heart."

Treasury Department
This painting of the White House, with the Departments of State, Treasury, War and Navy surrounding it, was drawn by Anne-Marguerite-Henriette Rouillé de Marigny Hyde de Neuville, baronne (more commonly known as Anne-Marguerite Hyde de Neuville)in 1820. She was the wife of the French Minister to the United States and a gifted artist. She and her husband were tenants at Decatur House on Lafayette Square during his time as the ambassador.
This sketch of a lunette window was included in a letter from architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe to Treasury Building construction supervisor John Lenthall in 1805, during Thomas Jefferson's presidency. After a fire devastated much of the Treasury Department building in 1801, Latrobe was commissioned to build a fireproof extension on the west side of the building. Latrobe designed fireproof iron windows for the extension. Latrobe is best known as the architect who designed the Capitol Building, St. John's Church, the Decatur House in Lafayette Square, the White House colonnades, and Madison state rooms and was the chief engineer for the U.S. Navy.
