I think the artist did a great job. I see in Lincoln's face a wise, tired but determined, caring man.

Thanks David

Thanks, Roger, for posting the photographs. And, I agree with your assessment of the artist's work, Gene.

The name of the artist is Haig Patigian (Armenian: Հայկ Բադիկեան; January 22, 1876 – September 19, 1950). He was an Armenian-American sculptor. The artist recognition is on the base of the sculpture (not photographed). Given the artist's date of birth, memories of Abraham Lincoln and what he meant to the nation must have still been fresh in the thoughts of many Americans at the time.

I have a feeling that this is how Lincoln must have appeared to the many common American citizens that participated in Lincoln's "public baths" and also the many distinguished men and women who consulted with Lincoln on important matters of state.
