About: “When I think of The Queen, I always think of the Crown Jewels which are one of the most iconic symbols of royalty. This portrait of a young Queen from the early part of her reign in the 1950’s references the Crown Jewels and depicts her face staring out from the facets of a large square diamond. As the title implies, she is the focal point of the monarchy and the most valuable, important and admired member of the royal family, which she has earned through decades of service to the country. The print is executed on brushed aluminium with a high gloss finish, which is in keeping with the subject matter and gives a reflective appearance, just like a real jewel.” (Louis Sidoli)
