This 3.25 x 4 in. shield shaped patch features Kehinde Wiey’s 2018 painting Jacob de Graeff, reimagined from Gerard ter Borch’s 1674 painting of the same name.

Commissioned by the St. Louis Art Museum, Wiley scouted for models throughout northern St. Louis and Ferguson to be the subjects of 11 portraits, all of which would be inspired by historic portraits within the museum's permanent collection.
Dye-sublimation with deep teal merrowed borders and iron on backing.
