One of the finest pieces of art in the White House, the portrait of Benjamin Franklin by David Martin, is the centerpiece of the Green Room. Topiaries of gold and green fruit stand on either side of the sofa and brilliant red poinsettias and fresh green pears. The Red Room is decorated with garlands and topiaries made of pomegranates, pears and magnolia leaves. A small cranberry tree surrounded by holly sits on an antique marble-top table.
