This drawing, inspired by the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on a £5 note, is a striking reinterpretation of a familiar image. Created during a period of hospital admission, it reflects both a moment of stillness and a deep engagement with artistic expression. The intricate details, carefully captured from the note, highlight the resilience and dignity associated with the late monarch, while the medium and context add a personal, introspective layer to the piece. More than just a study of currency, “The Queen” stands as a testament to patience, focus, and the power of creativity in challenging times.
