Specialist note

In 1985 Warhol created his largest portfolio of screenprints entitled Reigning Queens. An update of the traditional royal portrait, the portfolio depicts four contemporary 'ruling' queens: Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Ntombi Twala of Swaziland and Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. The following prints are three portraits of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark from this portfolio.
