"Sketch for the Battle of Yorktown, 1st to 17th October 1781 c.1836" is a historical artwork by the French painter Louis Charles Auguste Couder, created around 1836. The painting is a preparatory study for a larger work intended to depict the decisive Siege of Yorktown, which was the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War in the North American theater. The siege, which took place in Yorktown, Virginia, from September 28 to October 19, 1781, culminated in the surrender of British General Lord Cornwallis to the combined forces of the American Continental Army led by General George Washington and the French Army under the command of the Comte de Rochambeau.

Couder's sketch captures the intensity and strategic importance of the battle, which effectively ended major hostilities in the American Revolution and paved the way for American independence. The artist's attention to historical detail and his effort to convey the gravity of the moment are evident in the composition of the sketch. Although the final painting was intended to be part of a series of works commissioned for the Galerie des Batailles (Gallery of Battles) at the Palace of Versailles, the sketch itself holds significant value for its historical representation and artistic merit.

Louis Charles Auguste Couder, born in 1789 and passing in 1873, was a noted French painter of historical scenes and a respected member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. His works often reflect a romanticized vision of historical events, and his skill in capturing the essence of such moments is well-regarded in the art community. "Sketch for the Battle of Yorktown, 1st to 17th October 1781 c.1836" is an example of his preliminary work that showcases his process in creating grand historical narratives on canvas. The sketch remains an important artifact for both art historians and scholars of the American Revolutionary War, providing insight into the artistic process of the 19th century as well as the cultural memory of pivotal historical events.
