I passed this statue of Abraham Lincoln by Andrew O'Connor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art a few weeks ago. The professional picture from the front is from the Met's website. The picture from the side is mine...it has the same downcast look that appears on the beautiful 1918 commemorative half.

My picture from the side...
I think the resemblance to the coin is uncanny!

...the sculptors are true artists.

I'm pretty sure that's the statue near the IL State Capitol... of course a side view would show the likeness w/ the coin much better.

What's so controversial about his left brow?

Looks like Lincoln after the Lincoln-Douglass debates.
