Lot description
This is one of four silkscreen prints depicting Queen Ntombi Twala of Swaziland. This suite is part of Warhol's 'Reigning Queens' portfolio from 1985 which included the four female monarchs in the world at the time: Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and Queen Ntombi. This portfolio of 16 prints was the largest portfolio Warhol created. By including color-blocking and lines to emphasize jewelry and other regal accessories, Warhol's prints become wonderfully dynamic. All four prints from Queen Ntombi's suite are currently available at auction.
