This 1865 portrait of Abraham Lincoln is a striking lithographic depiction of the 16th President of the United States, created in the aftermath of his assassination.
The portrait presents Lincoln in three-quarter view, his calm and resolute expression framed by his characteristic beard. He wears formal attire, including a black coat, waistcoat, and bowtie, against a stark black background that emphasizes his figure and lends a solemn dignity to the composition.
Beneath the portrait, Lincoln's signature, "A. Lincoln," is elegantly reproduced. This color printed lithograph would have been produced as a commemorative piece to honor Lincoln's life and presidency, particularly in the wake of his tragic assassination in April 1865, as the nation mourned the loss of its leader.
