The portrait of former President Obama is no longer on display at the Portrait Gallery.
The museum has seen a record number of visitors since unveiling the portraits in February 2018, Director Kim Sajet said.
Visitors come "not only to view these works in person, but to be part of the communal experience of a particular moment in time," she said in a statement.
The Portrait Gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Timed entry passes are required.
