Painting by Denmark’s Queen Margrethe exceeds expectations at auction
An abstract painting by Denmark’s Queen Margrethe, who surprised her country by abdicating earlier this year, has been sold at a Copenhagen auction for 160,000 kroner (around £18,350) – exceeding the estimated price of 75,000-100,000 kroner (£8,600 to £11,468).
The artistic works of the 83-year queen has long been publicly known, and several of her paintings have been exhibited at museums in Denmark and abroad.
