Marquis de Lafayette (or Portrait of La Fayette) was painted in 1825 by Samuel Morse. Mostly known for his invention of the electric telegraph, Morse was also an artist and a professor of painting and sculpture at the University of the City of New York.
Painted in 1825, so he was 68 and only lived another 6 years. In 1776, he was 19 and cut a much more dashing figure.
Makes sense. Thanks for the context.
