| dbo:abstract | Abraham Lincoln: The Head of State (also called Seated Lincoln or Sitting Lincoln) is a 9-foot (2.7 m) tall bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln in Grant Park, in Chicago. Created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and completed by his workshop in 1908, it was intended by the artist to evoke the loneliness and burden of command felt by Lincoln during his presidency. The sculpture depicts a contemplative Lincoln seated in a chair, and gazing down into the distance. The sculpture is set upon a pedestal and a 150-foot (46 m) wide exedra designed by architect Stanford White. Although not as well known as Saint-Gaudens' Standing Lincoln (in Lincoln Park), it does demonstrate the years of attention that the sculptor gave to capturing Lincoln in a most somber light. Prior to being installed in Grant Park in 1926, the sculpture was displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and at the San Francisco World's Fair in 1915. The section of Grant Park, where this statue of Lincoln is located, was designated as the Court of Presidents in the plan for the park but, to date, this is the only such monument that has been erected. (en) La Abraham Lincoln: The Head of State (denominata anche Seated Lincoln o Sitting Lincoln) è una statua bronzea alta 2,7 m raffigurante il presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America Abraham Lincoln, posizionata nel . Creata da Augustus Saint-Gaudens e completata dal suo laboratorio artistico nel 1908, fu intesa ad evocare la solitudine e il peso avvertito dal comandante in capo durante la presidenza di Abraham Lincoln. La scultura raffigura un Lincoln contemplativo seduto su una sedia mentre dirige lo sguardo in lontananza, verso l'orizzonte. L'opera è posta su un piedistallo e un'esedra larga 46 metri progettata dall'architetto Stanford White. Sebbene non così noto come la Abraham Lincoln: The Man dello stesso autore (nel ), il monumento dimostra gli anni di attenzione che lo scultore ha speso per riuscire a catturare il presidente in una luce molto cupa. Prima di essere installata nell'attuale ubicazione nel 1926, è stato esposto sia al Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York che all' a San Francisco nel 1915. La sezione di Grant Park dove si trova questa statua di Lincoln è stata designata come la "Corte dei presidenti" nel piano per il parco, ma, a tutt'oggi, questo è l'unico monumento relativo che è stato innalzato.
