Description
This photographic print features a painting by George Henry Story of President Abraham Lincoln. Story spent three consecutive days in the White House making sketches of the president in June of 1861 from which he created several paintings. The painting in the photograph appears to be sitting on an easel. The artist's signature can be faintly seen in the viewer's lower left corner of the painting.
