Original – The Last Hours of Abraham Lincoln, Designed by John B. Bachelder and painted by Alonzo Chappel, this work of art depicts those who visited the dying president throughout the night and early morning of April 14–15, 1865. These people did not visit Lincoln at the same time: they could not have all fit in the small first-floor room of the Petersen House. Lincoln’s wife, Mary, is pictured in the center, lying across the president’s body. His son Robert stands in the foreground to the right of the bed. Vice President Andrew Johnson is seated at the far left.

  • Comment Oppose – I've never been a fan of these retrospective what-if-they-all-were-there hagiographic paintings, common in the 19th century. Due to their idealized, fanciful style, their EV is minimal. Sca (talk) 14:35, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • While I do think them valuable, this one is neither on the artist's page, nor does it have its own article. I think that it needs the context of its own article to add enough EV. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:17, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose – not a good image technically. The far left side is out of focus. Bammesk (talk) 02:44, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Per Adam Cuerden, the EV is not there if this painting does not have its own page, nor is it a historical depiction of an event. Mattximus (talk) 21:30, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
