Here the subject is a model rather than the finished monument: a working study by sculptor Daniel Chester French for the seated Abraham Lincoln that would later occupy the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. French designed the figure, and the Piccirilli Brothers, a New York carving firm, enlarged his model into the white marble statue dedicated in 1922. Images of the model stage show the design before it became stone, including the posture and the quiet authority French wanted for the president.
