"Richard Henry Lee" is an engraving by James Barton Longacre, an American engraver and coin designer who served as the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1844 until his death in 1869. The engraving depicts Richard Henry Lee (1732–1794), a prominent American statesman from Virginia who is best known for the motion in the Second Continental Congress calling for the colonies' independence from Great Britain. His famous resolution of June 1776 led to the United States Declaration of Independence, which he also signed.

Longacre's work is part of a broader collection of engravings that portray the founding figures of the United States. His engravings were widely distributed in the 19th century and were used for educational purposes, as well as to embellish various publications, including books and periodicals. Longacre's depiction of Lee is characterized by its attention to detail and the effort to convey the subject's stature and significance in American history.

As an engraver, Longacre was known for his portraits, which were often based on earlier paintings or other sources. His engravings are considered important historical records of how early American leaders were visually represented during the 19th century. The "Richard Henry Lee" engraving is an example of Longacre's skill in portraiture and his contribution to the iconography of American historical figures.

The engraving is not only a work of art but also a piece of historical documentation, reflecting both the artistic style of the period and the cultural importance of the subject. As with many of Longacre's works, the "Richard Henry Lee" engraving may be found in historical archives, libraries, and collections of American art and history.
