c. 1865 Civil War to Lincoln Assassination Mourning Period, Abraham Lincoln Miniature Portrait Painting Watercolor, Framed, Choice Extremely Fine.
This circa 1865 Lincoln Assassination Mourning Period, miniature portrait painting, no date, unknown artist or place, is beautifully accomplished and is in exceptional overall quality. President Abraham Lincoln is shown in his black suit coat, painted on a white natural material upon a tall rectangular shaped panel. It measures 2.75” wide x 3.5” tall (by sight), housed within its original black lacquered wooden frame, measuring fully to 5” x 5.5” with an antique English language printed page used to seal the back of the frame which has been previously opened. A decorative small gilt metal American Heraldic Eagle is attached to the top center face of the frame, it bearing a brass ring for suspension mounting. Possibly a “mourning” portrait, it depicts a bearded Lincoln, later in life, in his classic right-facing seated pose. The image appears in excellent condition and is well executed by the artist. Some scuffing and scattered minor paint loss to the frame from wear, overall a gorgeous Lincoln portrait that is ready for display.
