Willie Lincoln, the third son of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, is the figure at the center of this portrait, which sets a family member apart from the many images of the president himself. Willie was born in 1850 and spent his early years in the White House, where he was known for his lively, bookish nature. He died of typhoid fever in February 1862, a loss that weighed heavily on his parents and, by many accounts, on the president through the difficult months of the Civil War. His death also led to a rare moment in which the Lincolns became subjects of public sympathy rather than political debate.
