"Portrait of Marie-Joseph-Paul-Yves-Roch-Gilbert Du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette" is a 19th-century painting by American artist Alonzo Chappel. The artwork is a representation of the Marquis de Lafayette, a prominent figure in both the American and French Revolutions. Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a significant role in the American struggle for independence from Great Britain, and later in the French Revolution.

Alonzo Chappel (1828–1887) was known for his historical and genre paintings, and his works often depicted scenes and personalities from American history. This portrait of Lafayette is an example of Chappel's dedication to capturing the likenesses of historical figures, contributing to the visual documentation of American heritage.

The painting portrays Lafayette in a dignified pose, reflecting his status as a respected military leader and statesman. His attire is typical of the late 18th-century fashion, which would have been worn by a man of his social and military standing. The portrait is notable for its attention to detail, capturing the textures of Lafayette's clothing and the thoughtful expression on his face.

As an important historical figure, portraits of Lafayette were in demand in the 19th century, serving as a means to honor his contributions to the cause of liberty and to inspire future generations. Chappel's portrait is one of many artistic tributes to the Marquis, and it holds value not only as a work of art but also as a historical artifact that reflects the enduring legacy of Lafayette's life and career.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Chappel that helped to shape the visual narrative of American history in the 19th century. While the exact date of creation, current location, and ownership of the portrait may require further research, the work remains a significant piece within the oeuvre of Alonzo Chappel and the iconography surrounding the Marquis de Lafayette.
