The "Portrait of Patrick Henry" is a notable engraved work by William Satchwell Leney (1769–1821), which was created from a print that appeared in the Analectic Magazine in December 1817. The original portrait of Patrick Henry, an American attorney, planter, and orator best known for his declaration to the Second Virginia Convention ("Give me liberty, or give me death!"), was painted by Thomas Sully, a distinguished painter of the Federal period in America. The engraving by Leney is significant as it helped to disseminate the image of one of the United States' founding fathers to a broader audience during the early 19th century.

William Satchwell Leney was an English-born engraver who emigrated to the United States, where he became known for his fine line and stipple engravings, particularly of portraits. His work on the "Portrait of Patrick Henry" is an example of his skill in translating the essence of Sully's original painting into a print medium that could be reproduced and shared. The Analectic Magazine, which featured the print, was a literary publication of the time that often included engraved illustrations of notable figures, contributing to the visual record of American history and culture.

The portrait itself captures Patrick Henry in a pose that reflects his status as a respected statesman and orator. The decision to include Henry's likeness in the Analectic Magazine underscores his importance in the early republic and the desire to honor his contributions to the American Revolution and the formation of the United States government.

As an engraving derived from a work by Thomas Sully, one of the most prolific and respected portrait painters of his time, and engraved by William Satchwell Leney, a master of the medium, the "Portrait of Patrick Henry" stands as an important historical artifact. It represents the intersection of art and history, encapsulating the reverence for the nation's founders during the post-revolutionary period and the role of the arts in shaping and preserving American identity.
