Object Details
This photographic portrait of Small Business Committee Chairman Parren Mitchell shows the subject sitting in a typical House desk chair, holding his eyeglasses. A low table near him holds a decorative lamp, books, and a leather holder filled with sharpened pencils. Only the studio backdrop gives away that this is a formal photograph rather than a candid snapshot of the Congressman at ease.
