Description

The gold-toned painted head and shoulders bust depicting President Abraham Lincoln was done from the original bust sculpted by Max Bachmann. Lincoln directly faces the viewer but his head is tilted down slightly. Lincoln is bearded and is wearing a coat, vest, shirt, and bow tie. The bust rests on a square pedestal. On the back of the pedestal it reads, "P P Caproni & Bro. INC. PYA CHE 1907 5395." Part of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
