"Portrait of General Francis Marion at the Battle of Eutaw Springs, 1781" is a historical engraving by Thomas B. Welch (1814–1874), based on a drawing by the prominent American artist James Barton Longacre (1794–1869). The original artwork from which the engraving was derived was created by the esteemed British artist Thomas Stothard. This piece of art commemorates the role of Brigadier General Francis Marion, a notable figure in the American Revolutionary War, particularly in the Battle of Eutaw Springs which took place on September 8, 1781, in South Carolina.

Thomas B. Welch, an American engraver, is known for his skillful reproductions of significant historical events and figures, which played a crucial role in the visual documentation of American history. James Barton Longacre, the artist behind the original drawing, served as the Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and is best known for his numismatic designs, including the Indian Head cent and other important American coins.

The Battle of Eutaw Springs was one of the last major engagements of the war in the Carolinas. General Marion, also known as the "Swamp Fox," was a key figure in the Southern theater of the war, renowned for his irregular warfare that disrupted British operations. The artwork captures the intensity and drama of the battle, highlighting Marion's leadership and valor.

The engraving by Welch, from Longacre's drawing and inspired by Stothard's composition, not only serves as a tribute to General Marion's legacy but also reflects the collaborative nature of 19th-century printmaking, where artists and engravers often worked in tandem to produce images that could be widely disseminated to the public. This work is an example of how art and history intersect, providing a visual narrative that complements the written accounts of America's fight for independence.
