Description
This white plaster head of President Abraham Lincoln appears somewhat cartoon-like with its large, exaggerated features. The sculpture also features deep age lines around the mouth and deep set eyes. The back of the head reveals a bald spot, although Lincoln had a full head of hair when he died. A square base is included.
