Setbacks of the Drumpf Tower in Chicago -- I think they give it a ship-like appearance. Parenthetically, Drumpf is an egotistical, mendacious, loud-mouthed bully. Just saying. Canon EOS 7D with Canon EFS 50 mm lens

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Leonard Wells Volk, 1828-1895 Modeled 1860, cast 1880 Bronze From the curation card:On May 18,1860, Leonard Volk made a life mask by covering the future president's face in plaster, letting it set, and carefully removing it. Volk then used the mask to create numerous bronze sculptures. Because they were based directly from Lincoln's face, the sculptures have a freshness and level of detail that capture the intensity of the 51-year-old presidential candidate. At the time Volk made the life mask, Lincoln did not yet wear the beard that would later become an iconic part of his popular image.

Portrait of Jean de Thévenot (1633-1667), 1660-63 by Philippe de Champaigne (French, 1602-74&#x29

Huntington Museum in San Marino, California This man should probably be considered the patron saint of all early morning risers! From the curation card: Jean de Thévenot was a linguist, natural scientist, botanist, and traveler who wrote extensively about his journeys to the eastern Mediterranean and Turkey. He is also the man we can thank for introducing coffee to Parisian society in 1657 and for instructing the French in its use. We do not know why Philippe de Champaigne, one of the greatest French painters of the 17th century, painted his portrait but it is obvious he took pleasure in rendering the lavish fabrics, Turkish-inspired domed architecture, and almost translucent complexion of this striking and exotic figure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_de_Th%C3%A9venot.
