Queen Beatrix 339 by Andy Warhol is a portrait from the Reigning Queens portfolio published in 1985. The series depicts sixteen portraits of ruling queens of the time. Included in this series are Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, Queen Ntombi Twala of Swaziland, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
Warhol captured the queens as individual rulers, rather than women who married a king. Warhol’s portraits for male leaders such as Mao Zedong, Alexander The Great, and Vladimir Lenin use bold colors rather soft colors for feminine portraits. However, this print incorporates both soft and bold elements. His portraits of male political leaders depict them as intimidating, serious men. In Reigning Queens he played on his subjects’ mystique and femininity. In his later series, Reigning Queens (Royal Edition), he accented these portraits with diamond dust to further emphasize the elegance of the queens.
