A painting by Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II is going up for auction in March, with an estimate of $11,000-$15,000.
A painting by Denmark’s former monarch, Queen Margrethe II, is going up for auction. Works by the 83-year-old queen, who is a prolific artist, have featured in various exhibitions, but the opportunity to buy one of her paintings is rare, according to a statement from Bruun Rasmussen auction house published Tuesday. “You now have the opportunity to acquire a very special – and not least royal – work of art,” said the auction house, which has set an estimate of 75,000–100,000 Danish kroner ($11,000-$15,000). The painting dates from 1988, the year that Margrethe started to exhibit her art officially. It was given to the then Court Marshal, Hans Sølvhøj (1919–1989), and remained in his family since. “The queen found her inspiration for the painting up for auction in the natural world, expressing it in a lyrical idiom. It is a highly personal artistic universe,” Niels Boe-Hauggaard, a specialist in Modern & Contemporary Art at Bruun Rasmussen, said in the statement. “We are very much looking forward to offering this work by H.M. Queen Margrethe II, which testifies to her immense passion for and prolificacy within art and creative work,” he added.
