"The Boyhood of Abraham Lincoln" is an oil painting by American artist Eastman Johnson, completed in 1867. The artwork is a genre painting that depicts a young Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, during his formative years in Indiana. In this painting, Johnson portrays Lincoln as a symbol of American self-made success, emphasizing the humble beginnings from which he rose to national prominence.

Eastman Johnson, known for his genre scenes and for capturing various aspects of American life, uses this work to contribute to the mythology surrounding Lincoln's early life. The painting shows Lincoln as a young man, engaged in an activity such as reading or working, which reflects the popular narrative of his dedication to self-education and hard work. The setting is typically rustic, highlighting the frontier environment that shaped Lincoln's character and values.

The Boyhood of Abraham Lincoln is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical implications. Created two years after Lincoln's assassination, the painting served as a form of memorialization and played a role in the construction of Lincoln's legacy as a national hero. It reflects the period's interest in the President's origins and the broader American ethos of the "log cabin to White House" narrative.

This painting is part of a broader collection of works by Eastman Johnson that explore themes of American identity, history, and everyday life. As with many of Johnson's paintings, "The Boyhood of Abraham Lincoln" is appreciated for its narrative quality and its ability to evoke a sense of the American past. The artwork is housed in a notable museum or private collection, and it continues to be studied for its artistic techniques, as well as its place in the iconography of one of America's most revered figures.
