"A single man in possession of a good fortune" is a portrait by contemporary artist Amy Sherald. The work depicts a young Black man in a white sweater with a colorful pattern against a muted yellow background. Sherald’s signature style is the use of flat, monochromatic colors, a technique reminiscent of early photography. The work exemplifies Sherald’s exploration of portraiture through the lens of the African American experience in contemporary America.
