Queen Margrethe II of Denmark was originally created in 1985 as part of a portfolio of 16 screenprints on Lenox Museum Board. This particular work is from the rare Royal Edition series which features diamond dust along the outline of the entire print. Also featured in this series are Queen Beatrix, Queen Elizabeth II, and Queen Ntombi Twala; there also exists another Reigning Queens edition from the same year in which diamond dust was excluded from the screenprint during production. Printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York and published by George C. P. Mulder, Amsterdam.
