About this Portrait: Charles Willson Peale probably painted this museum portrait during Lincoln's term as Secretary of War. It is first recorded as "Secretary of War" in the October 13, 1784 issue of the Freeman's Journal and Philadelphia Daily Advertiser. The epaulettes worn by Lincoln in this painting may be those presented to him early in the war by General Washington as a token of appreciation for his service. Ownership History: Listed in the 1795 Peale Museum catalog. Purchased by the City of Philadelphia at the 1854 Peale Museum sale. ![]() |
