Historic Lincoln Painting from White House Finds New Home in North Dakota Library
A painting of Abraham Lincoln, once displayed in the White House during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, has been uncovered by New York collector David Soderquist. The painting, featuring a clean-shaven Lincoln, was gifted to Roosevelt in 1903 and hung in his office until 1909. It was later sold to J.P. Morgan and eventually acquired by Soderquist's family in 1975. After extensive research, Soderquist confirmed the painting's historical significance and has loaned it to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota. The library, set to open on July 4, will display the painting as part of its collection, allowing the public to view this piece of American history.
