Monkey Queen is one of Banksy’s most iconic and irreverent works, first released in 2003. The piece features a satirical portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as a chimpanzee, complete with a regal pearl necklace and royal sash, set against a bold Union Jack backdrop. With characteristic subversive wit, Banksy critiques both the monarchy and British societal structures, using the image of a monkey to challenge ideas of power, tradition, and human exceptionalism.

This signed edition is part of a limited run of 150, screen-printed on wove paper and hand-signed by the artist. Rare and highly sought after, Monkey Queen is a prime example of Banksy's early work that helped define his voice as a provocative, politically engaged street artist.

This print was published by Banksy’s own Pictures on Walls (POW) and comes with full provenance, including a Pest Control Certificate of Authenticity.
