Andy Warhol’s "Queen Ntombi" is part of his "Reigning Queens" series, where he portrayed contemporary female monarchs. This vivid depiction of Queen Ntombi of Swaziland uses striking colours—deep blues for her face against a bold yellow background—while geometric shapes add to the abstract, pop art aesthetic. The silkscreen technique, typical of Warhol’s style, flattens the portrait and enhances its graphic quality. This work continues Warhol’s exploration of fame, focusing on global figures outside of the Western celebrity sphere, while maintaining his commentary on the intersection of power, media, and commodification.
