Description

Portrait of Abraham Lincoln depicts him from the shoulders up, looking directly at the viewer. He has green eyes, brown hair parted to the side, and a full beard. He wears a dark jacket, white collared shirt, and green bow tie. His head is backlit against the dark brown background, lending a halo effect. The artist signed his name in red paint in the lower right corner, "Phil J. Erskine." Part of The Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
