Dark bronze seated statue of a man in a suit with hands on chair arms, fluted pillars at the sides, on a stepped base.

Abraham Lincoln

A dark bronze statue shows a seated man in a suit and vest, hands resting on the arms of a chair with fluted pillar supports. The figure faces forward on a stepped plinth, with draped fabric behind the chair and a calm, serious expression. The realistic modeling emphasizes the folds of clothing and the solid, monumental form.
