by sculptor Lis Nogel<br />

Previous portraits versions<br />
The portrait is changed from time to<br />
time to ensure a contemporary portrait<br />
which is as close a likeness as possible.<br />
The portrait of Queen Margrethe II is<br />
modelled as a simplified, slightly stylized<br />
interpretation after a photo material photographed<br />
in collaboration with<br />
Martin Mydtskov Rønne.<br />
The portrait is modelled as a flat relief<br />
showing the Queen in the right reversed<br />
profile. It is a naturalistic portrait, where<br />
the emphasis is on similarities with the<br />
Queen.<br />
In consultation with Queen Margrethe II<br />
the portrait is reproduced with the tiara,<br />
which is passed down from Queen Ingrid<br />
and is weared by the Queen at special<br />
occasions.<br />
