The White House Historical Association, a non-profit tasked with preserving the White House interior, has reacquired four historical sketches by heralded American painter and illustrator Norman Rockwell in a successful $5.8 million offer during an auction on Friday.

The four works of art date back to the 1940s, and are called “So You Want to See the President!” They were displayed in the West Wing for many years, but were removed in 2022 after a dispute over ownership of the artwork.
