An oil painting of Oprah Winfrey by Shawn Michael Warren was unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., in 2023.[1][2][3]

The painting depicts a smiling Winfrey in a voluminous purple taffeta dress by Christian Siriano, its color referring to her first film role in Steven Spielberg's 1985 version of The Color Purple.[1] Winfrey is depicted walking across a grass lawn amid the oak trees of the verdant prayer garden at her estate in Montecito, California,[3] holding an olive branch in her left hand.[1]

The artist received the commission after painting a mural of Winfrey in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago in 2020, near where Winfrey's Harpo Studios had been located until 2015.[4] The full-length portrait measures approximately 70 in × 56 in (180 cm × 140 cm). It has been added to the permanent collection of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery.[5]
