Shown in strict profile, with a full beard and dark suit, this painting departs from the front-facing likenesses that most portraits of its subject use. The gallery files it under Abraham Lincoln, who began growing his beard in the autumn of 1860, before his election as the 16th president. Profile views were a long-standing format for medals and coins, and Lincoln's profile later appeared on the U.S. cent beginning in 1909. The side view also concentrates attention on the outline of the face and the sober tailoring, which suits an image meant to be recognized at a glance.
