This photograph is of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy hosting a luncheon for senators' wives in the State Dining Room of the White House. Also pictured are maître d'hôtel John W. Ficklin and a White House butler. Robert L. Knudsen photographed the event on May 23, 1962. The table setting for the luncheon is an example of Mrs. Kennedy's use of round tables over banquet-style tables. The State Dining Room is located on the State Floor of the White House. The room is often the setting for State or Official Dinners and is the second largest room in the White House.
