Seated in a studio with a bow tie at the collar, the sitter appears in the warm brown tones typical of sepia prints, which were common in the decades when photographers were still working with long exposures. The collection files this portrait under Abraham Lincoln, though the title itself does not name the sitter, so that link is worth checking against the full record. Lincoln sat for a number of studio portraits during his lifetime, and a seated pose like this one reflects the practical need to hold still for several seconds while the image was captured.
