Description

Abraham Lincoln: Max Bachmann Lifesize Bust. This lifesize bust of our 16th president is 32" high and 23" across. It is made of plaster and is hollow inside. Although unsigned, we feel confident in attributing it to Max Bachmann who did similar busts in plaster, terra cotta and bronze at the turn of the 19th century. There is a space on the front of the pedestal for a plaque (no longer present) which likely identified the title of the work and its sculptor. The condition is outstanding. There is some minor flaking of the painted surface on the backside of the base plus a chip on the rear right corner. That's it. As you can see, this is a very well-done and dramatic likeness.
