Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: Abraham Lincoln by Daniel Chester French

This Abraham Lincoln is a relatively recent cast in bronze from an original mold made by Daniel Chester French who, of course, created the monumental Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. French lived and worked in western Massachusetts.

Chesterwood is a wonderful place to visit, should you find yourself in the Berkshires.
