So, just so you know, the White House doesn't really own the paintings it displays. They are usually on loan from museums or private collectors, and each President can switch out art as they choose.
This particular painting DID hang in the White House until 2014. It belonged to a private collector and was on loan.
In 2015, the painting was bought from that collector, so it was moved from the White House to the new owners and placed in the Minnesota Marine Art Museum.
In other words, this has really nothing to do with politics, or Biden, or Q, or anything else. Just art collectors selling a painting that had once been on loan to the White House.
