I'd like to share my painting of HRH Beatrix. It's based on an existing photo picture of her. Enjoy it! More of my paint work at Home at Briex

I'm sure Beatrix is Her Majesty.

Very well painted.

That's a very flattering portrait. I also like your portrait of Warhol, and your waterlilies.

Auction house Christie's is auctioning off US pop artist Andy Warhol's pink portrait of Queen Beatrix. Andy Warhol painted the portrait in 1985 as part of his series Reigning Queens, which consisted of four female monarchs: Beatrix of the Netherlands, Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Margrethe II of Denmark and Ntombi laTfwala of Swaziland. Christie's says Warhol praised the Dutch queen as the most beautiful of the four.

The auction is scheduled for 30 November. Portraits from the series Reigning Queens have been sold in large numbers as screen prints, but the original paintings are rarely put up for auction.

Here you can see it.

Has anyone ever heard about it or the other three portraits? At least here are the other portraits as prints...

Briex, your painting is great!

The Andy Warhol's pink portrait of Queen Beatrix is really a good piece IMO. The colors and the bright outlines he used is incredible. He really did a good job. Personally I wouldn't mind owning it
