That first one does not look like Lincoln. My opinion is that it's not him.
Can't speak to the eyebrows or ears, but I have it on good authority that someone mentioned the hump to him shortly after this pic was taken so he went out and got a nose job, and, voila! No more hump!Here are a few differences I see (especially comparing the "new" portrait to a clearer version of the known young Lincoln portrait here, as well as other Lincoln portraits on the rest of this Wikipedia page):
The man in the new portrait has a pronounced hump in the bridge of his nose. Lincoln's nose is straighter.
The ears are not quite the same shape, and the ear of the man in the new portrait is more closely attached than Lincoln's.
Their eyebrows are not the same shape.
I get it now from the clue in the caption: the body double Lincoln hired to get his political career off the ground has been found!Don’t know what the lincolnportrait.com is trying to sell, but I ain’t buyin’....
I think you meant cleft chinHere is a site arguing that the OP face is authentic. Don’t think so. https://www.lincolnportrait.com/
This is the original pose of the OP:

Now, read the company heading at top. It is backwards. I flipped it here. This is correct image of somebody.

Compare that to this authenticated one:

Differences...
1. Hair parted on wrong side.
2. Lincoln possesses no double chin.
3. The OP image does not show Lincoln’s hallmark mole in his right facial crease.( so evident here)
4. Hair style looks “glued down” in first one, and eyes are not deeply inset, as Lincoln’s are.
Don’t know what the lincolnportrait.com is trying to sell, but I ain’t buyin’....
Excellent point about the mole (possibly a cyst?) beneath Lincoln's right cheek. I've just looked at several known Lincoln portraits, and it's very evident in all of them.Here is a site arguing that the OP face is authentic. Don’t think so. https://www.lincolnportrait.com/

I did indeed! I don’t believe Mr. Lincoln ate enough to have had a double chin :+))...I think you meant cleft chin

Wow, if you go to that site and read this guy’s dribble, he is almost certifiable........his collection of photos in his estimation is worth a billion dollars.....what a kook!Here is a site arguing that the OP face is authentic. Don’t think so. https://www.lincolnportrait.com/

That's what I saw. The cheeks and upper lip are too full. The hooded eyelids are more hooded that photograph #2; there should be more of a correlation.The face is more full than the other Lincoln pictures. I don't see it either.
