Also possible this portrait was done with an actual sitting with Lincoln considering the artists history.Overall it measures 35 x 29 inches...It was obviously relined years ago and is still in pretty good condition . There are repairs as can be seen though they are in the dark back drop not in his likeness.Louis Lussier (1832-1884) was born in Canada and worked in Lincoln's native state of Illinois during the 1850s, '60s and early 1870s. He spent the remainder of his life in California.
