Meaning & Analysis
Queen Beatrix Of The Netherlands (F. & S. II.339) is a 1985 screenprint by Andy Warhol from his Reigning Queens series, depicting the Dutch monarch in a frontal portrait against a white ground. Rendered in silver-grey with pink outline, the portrait features an orange tiara, teal dress, and red lips. The work is from a signed edition of 40.
Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands acceded to the throne in 1980, five years before Warhol produced the Reigning Queens series. Her inclusion alongside Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and Queen Ntombi Twala of Swaziland placed her within Warhol’s four-monarch framework, each subject depicted in standard and Royal Edition variants.
Queen Beatrix Of The Netherlands (F. & S. II.339) differs compositionally from the Queen Elizabeth II prints in the same series: rather than a coloured background with geometric blocks, this portrait is set against a white ground, the figure emerging from cream paper without any chromatic frame. The face is rendered in silver and grey with pink outline — a palette that gives the portrait an almost photographic quality — the pink line functioning as both colour and drawing simultaneously. The orange and amber tiara, teal dress with pink outline, and red lips provide the print’s colour notes, applied with characteristic restraint against the white ground.
The edition of 40 is consistent with the standard runs across the Reigning Queens series. Individual Beatrix prints are less frequently encountered in the secondary market than the Elizabeth II works, which have attracted additional attention since 2022.
