This patch features Kehinde Wiley's 2007 painting, Officer of the Hussars, a favorite in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Wiley’s painting derives its ideation from Théodore Géricault’s The Officer of the Hussars (1812; Musée du Louvre). Wiley swapped the stereotypical white Napoleonic European cavalry officer for a Black man mounted on the same horse. He sits in a white athletic tank top, jeans and Timberland boots, wielding a sabre, looking back confidently at the viewer from the rearing horse.
