It was an artistic interpretation of a royal portrait :D

I've got to admit, I'm not a fan of the blue one.  Her head is held in a bit of an awkward position...maybe it's just me.  The first one is gorgeous though  :D

How long has she been Queen for? There's got to be more portraits than that?  And how about other royals around the world? :blink:
