Awesome work with Abraham Lincoln as well as the White House drifting into the background. You can really tell the age showing on his face, especially when his tenure included the Civil War, ending the slave trade and, before his life was taken away, attempts on his life. (Or was it only the one time, I'm not sure?)
Either way, supreme detailing efforts considering the use of pastels, and yeah, hope to see more work like this.

This wonderful! Is it referenced from a photo or a painting?

The head reference is from well known photo ([link] ) and style and colors are used from painting i think ([link] )
