Untitled (Opal)

2021

This large scale silkscreen by Amy Sherald depicts a young Black woman in a vivid yellow sundress against a flat turquoise background, rendered with Sherald's signature grisaille technique for the skin tones. The subject meets the viewer's gaze with quiet confidence and poise, her braided hair, orange hoop earrings, and painted nails adding intimate personal detail. The work exemplifies Sherald's celebrated approach to portraiture, foregrounding Black identity and interiority while subverting conventional representations of race. Produced as a 70 color silkscreen on Lana Aquarelle paper, this is a highly collectible large format print from one of the most significant American painters working today.
