Queen Beatrix

1982 | silk-screen print | 73 × 82 cm

This print by Marte Röling follows in a long tradition of portraying members of the Dutch royal family. But what about its artistic tradition?

This iconic portrait of Queen Beatrix has a certain Pop Art look to it. It’s in black and white, so there’s obviously no connection to the glam colours often associated with the artistic movement. The use of thick outlines, however, brings to mind the comic book style of Roy Lichtenstein, one of the greats of Pop Art.
