The Lincoln Memorial's seated statue of Abraham Lincoln is the subject here, rendered in pencil as a flat elevation, the kind of front-on drawing architects and sculptors used to record a figure's proportions and dimensions. The memorial was designed by Henry Bacon and dedicated in 1922, and the statue itself was carved by Daniel Chester French and the Piccirilli Brothers from 28 blocks of white Georgia marble. Because an elevation shows the figure without perspective distortion, the drawing is useful for studying how the seated Lincoln fills the central chamber.
