"The Marquis de Lafayette" is a portrait by the American artist Rembrandt Peale, depicting the renowned French aristocrat and military officer Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette. Known for his significant role in both the American and French Revolutions, Lafayette was a key figure in securing French support for the American cause and later became an emblem of the struggle for liberty in both countries.

Rembrandt Peale, one of the most prominent portrait painters in the United States during the early 19th century, was part of the notable Peale family of artists. He was known for his portraits of important political figures, and his work on Lafayette is no exception. The portrait is celebrated for its fine detail, capturing the essence of Lafayette's character and his dignified bearing. Peale's skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to the textures of fabrics and the sitter's physiognomy, contribute to the lifelike quality of the painting.

The exact date of the portrait's creation is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been painted during one of Lafayette's visits to the United States, possibly around the time of his grand tour of the country in 1824-1825, when he was welcomed as a national hero. This work is one of several portraits of Lafayette by Peale, who took advantage of the Marquis's popularity in America to create multiple versions for different patrons.

"The Marquis de Lafayette" by Rembrandt Peale is not only a representation of an individual but also a historical document that reflects the deep ties between the United States and France during a critical period of American history. The portrait is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important piece of American art from the early 19th century. It is housed in a prominent museum or collection, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the general public alike.
