A seated man in a bow tie is the focus of this charcoal portrait, rendered in the soft, smudged tones that made drawn likenesses popular through much of the 19th century. The record does not name the sitter, so it is best read as a document of the period rather than a confirmed portrait of a specific person. The drawing is shown among holdings from Lincoln Home National Historic Site, the Springfield, Illinois house Abraham Lincoln bought in 1844 and left for Washington in 1861, which places it in the same era and community.
