Edition: 2 / 75 Description: This photograph captures Jacqueline Kennedy during the State Visit of German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to the White House, on November 14, 1962. Taken under the South Portico of the White House, the image shows Jackie Kennedy in a moment of waiting preceding the official arrival of the Chancellor and his daughter. In contrast to formal poses, Manfred Linus Kreiner captures here a spontaneous, natural expression of the American First Lady, whose gaze and bearing convey the elegance and modernity that defined the Kennedy era. The close-up framing and the discreet presence of the entourage in the background enhance the impression of a candid moment, at the very heart of American presidential protocol. This photograph perfectly illustrates Kreiner’s photojournalistic eye, capable of revealing the humanity and presence of political figures in the in-between moments of great official ceremonies. Print made from the original negative preserved in the photographer’s estate archives and authenticated by a back stamp.
