Description

Abraham Lincoln er en kolossal siddende figur af USA's præsident Abraham Lincoln, skabt af Daniel Chester French og udført af Piccirilli-brødrene. Den befinder sig i Lincoln Memorial, på National Mall, Washington, D.C., USA, og blev afsløret i 1922. Værket følger traditionerne i Beaux Arts og den amerikanske renæssance stil.

Den 170 tons tunge statue er sammensat af 28 blokke hvid Georgia-marmor og hæver sig 30 fod fra gulvet, inklusive den 19 fod høje siddende figur på en 11 fod høj sokkel. Figuren af Lincoln stirrer direkte fremad og lidt nedad med et udtryk af alvor og alvorlighed. Hans frakkekappe er udklet, og et stort amerikansk flag er draperet over stoleryggen og siderne. French havde særlig opmærksomhed på Lincolns udtryksfulde hænder, som hviler på de enorme arme af en cirkulær, ceremoniel stol, hvis forside bærer fasces, symboler på autoritet fra romersk antik. French brugte støbninger af sine egne fingre for at opnå den korrekte placering.
