Queen Élisabeth of Belgium

I am excited to show you a piece of artwork I did while I was in high school. I have been a fan of royalty since I was 12, and my artwork is often inspired by royals.

Purchase the "Reine Élisabeth de Belgique" Print here.

This has been on my wall in every place I've lived for the past decade. I am currently trying to live with less things, and I am deciding to let this piece of artwork go to a new home. It is a linocut print done on white paper. It is 9x12 inches, and is framed behind glass in a black wood frame. 

I don't normally ship outside of the US, so if you do live elsewhere in the world and really want this item, let me know and I can make a custom shipping option for you.

Queen Élisabeth (1876-1965) was the consort to King Albert I of Belgium (m. 1900–1934).

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima

The King and Queen of the Netherlands with their three beautiful daughters.

The entire Dutch royal family, with Queen Beatrix at its center. The pic also includes Prince Johan Friso, who died last year after being in a coma, with  his wife Princess Mabel; Prince Constantijn and his wife, Princess Laurentien; with Princess Maxima and Prince Willem Alexander.

I'm a twin, and it was bad enough being dressed like her, so I can't imagine how embarrassed Amalia is to be dressed exactly like her two younger sisters!



As with any person marrying into a famous family, Maxima must have faced challenges when she first married Willem-Alexander, but she has obviously become much more relaxed and comfortable in her role as the female figurehead of her country.
