How long does depression last? The average spell of clinical depression, if left entirely untreated, can last around 8 months. During a depression, the sufferer will normally be convinced that it will never go away, but this is a classic feature of the way depression makes us think.
The Statue This bronze statue, dedicated by the Quincy Partnership on June 14, 1997, was created by sculptor Lloyd Littie of Newton, Massachusetts. It depicts Abigail Adams urging young John Quincy Adams to go out into the world and prove himself.
Statue on display in the Capitol Rotunda c. 1868. The name of the sculptor, Vinnie Ream, is inscribed on the side of the self-base. The name ABRAHAM LINCOLN is carved in relief on the front of the marble pedestal. The red granite base, on which the pedestal stands, was added in 1877. In 1866, at the age of 18, Vinnie Ream was selected by the U.S. Congress to sculpt a memorial statue of President Abraham Lincoln. This made her the first female artist commissioned to create a work of art for the United States government.
