| Commentary: | On a note card, Schoonover writes about this painting: “In this picture young Abe is about 6-7 years of age. Abe stands with a gourd in his hand. He is talking to the boy on the white horse. Abe’s father, Tom, with axe on shoulder, stands in buckskins. In the background is the Lincoln cabin.” (archives) | |
