Red Sword Socks
Red Sword Socks
$29.00
These woven cotton blend sock features the background used in Yachinboaz Ben Yisrael II (2021) by Kehinde Wiley. The painting takes its inspiration from European art history and portrait traditions. The subject, holding a golden-sheathed sword, adopts the same stoic pose as many historic European monarchs did in their court portraits. Rather than elaborate robes or furs that would be typical of someone maintaining this stance, Wiley's sitter is dressed in a vibrant red crewneck, jeans and Nike sneakers.
- One size fits most
- Cotton blend stretch
- Kehinde Wiley printed on the sole
