Rochambeau Monument, Bronze memorial statue in Lafayette Square, Washington DC, United States.
The bronze figure stands 8 feet tall on a 20-foot granite base, depicting General Rochambeau holding plans for the Siege of Yorktown.
The monument was unveiled on May 24, 1902, during a ceremony attended by President Theodore Roosevelt and French officials to strengthen diplomatic relations.
The statue represents the French-American alliance during the Revolutionary War, with surrounding pedestal figures illustrating Liberty and an eagle.

Congress allocated $42,500 in 1901 for sculptor Fernand Hamar to create this replica of an original statue from Vendôme, France.
