Abraham Lincoln Lawyer Relief - Available now

Cherry Wood Base Optional

The Lawyer relief is sculpted in life size and depicts a beardless attorney Lincoln in a classic Greek and Roman pose with a full side profile 

of the head and a three quarters profile of the chest and shoulders.  This is the same pose used in the Nobel prize medallion. The sculpture shows 

Mr. Lincoln as a robust and vital, well groomed, and confident attorney and candidate with a firm resolve and a clear vision of the future. This 

depiction is a strong and powerful image of the man who was elected our 16th president.

Abraham Lincoln Presidential Relief - Available Now

Cherry Wood Base Optional

(Shown in clay. Final casting and patina is similar to lawyer relief. Waiting on photograph)

The Presidential relief utilizes the classic three quarters pose. It depicts President Lincoln fours years later after the pressures of the office 

and the Civil War has aged him beyond his years.  The two portraits make a ideal matching pair and together constitute a portrait of transition both

 of Mr. Lincoln's  and as a proxy for the changes endured by our country during the Civil War.  The Presidential sculpture is completed and is 

currently in the process of molding.  It should be available by mid February 2008. 

Patina

Due to the illumination from photographic lights, sculptural patinas are very difficult to photograph. Since these castings have a bronze surface, the patina is 

hand applied using traditional bronze patina techniques. The color is a rich dark aged brown with a hint of red overlaying a golden undercoat.  The brown patina 

is partially hand rubbed back to reveal varied and complex golden bronze highlights which are evident on raised areas contrasted by subtle shadows in recessed

 areas.  The resulting patina is rich and traditional and will appear different in different light settings.  In a dark room the patina will appear dark and aged but 

under light the incredible golden brown patina will be revealed. Under direct sunlight or the photo flood lights used in these photographs, the finish will appear  

righter and lighter than normal.  To prevent tarnishing, the patina is sealed with a lacquer coating and buffed with bronze paste wax.  Although the surface is 

durable, care should be exercised to avoid scratches with metallic objects.  Polish the casting with a dry soft dust cloth and once or twice a year use a small

 amount of paste wax.
