Kehinde Wiley's 2017 portrait of Yinka Shonibare, titled *Portrait Of Yinka Shonibare, Reynard The Fox*, depicts the artist, Shonibare, sitting in a velvet chair. The composition is a subversion of traditional portraiture and borrows heavily from the styles of European Old Masters, while simultaneously offering a contemporary critique of power and representation. The artist's choice of a dark, brooding background contrasts with the bright, colorful details of Shonibare's clothing and sneakers, highlighting a juxtaposition of power and style.
