Chappel painted a majority of the portraits published as engravings in biographer Evert Duyckinck's, "Portrait Galleries," of the 1860s and 1870s. He often copied the subjects' faces from photographic portraits and placed them on generic bodies in more decorative surroundings than the original photograph.
