Banksy’s Monkey Queen is a bold and satirical screenprint from 2003, portraying Queen Elizabeth II as a monkey against the backdrop of the Union Jack. With his signature blend of humor and political commentary, Banksy uses the imagery to critique authority, class, and the British establishment.
This unsigned edition is part of a limited run of 600, published by Pictures on Walls (POW), and remains one of Banksy’s most recognizable and provocative early works. Printed on wove paper, it reflects the artist’s street-art roots and confrontational style that helped shape contemporary urban art.
The piece is accompanied by a Pest Control Certificate of Authenticity, verifying its legitimacy within Banksy’s official catalogue raisonné.
