Precious jewels by the sea
ALICE WALTON: This fabulous painting, Precious jewels by the Sea by Amy Sherald, is a crowd pleaser and I believe, one of her very best works. Amy is a young, African American artist. You might best know her as the artist that painted Michelle Obama's portrait in the National Gallery. We think this is of equal importance and we are proud to have it in the Crystal Bridges collection. This painting and most of her other works are about expressions of freedom. I like that.[End of Stop]

Joyas preciosas junto al mar
ALICE WALTON: Esta pintura asombrosa, Joyas preciosas junto al mar, de Amy Sherald, encanta a todo el mundo y, creo, es una de sus mejores obras. Amy es una joven artista afroestadounidense. Es probable que la conozcan por ser la artista que pintó el retrato de Michelle Obama de la National Gallery. Consideramos que esta pintura es tan importante como aquella y estamos orgullosos de que forme parte de la colección de Crystal Bridges. Esta pintura, como la mayoría de sus obras, tratan sobre las expresiones de la libertad. Eso me gusta.[Fin de la parada]
