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.

It has been added to the permanent collection of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery.
