Abraham Lincoln is a 1928 ink by Timothy Cole, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a round frame. He’s wearing a dark jacket, a white shirt, and a bow tie. His hair is short and neat, and he has a slight smile. The artist used tiny lines to create shading, giving the image texture. This style is called cross-hatching. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
