A bucket full of treasures 2020

"A Bucket Full of Treasures" (2020) is a portrait by Amy Sherald that features a young Black man standing against a bright yellow background. The subject is dressed in a white shirt with a lobster and sun design and green pants. This work, like many of Sherald's other paintings, focuses on Black identity and experience. The subject’s pose and the flat, graphic style give the painting a sense of both formality and individuality, reflecting Sherald’s signature approach to portraiture.
