In 2012, members of the Royal Academy presented Queen Elizabeth II with a portfolio of 105 works on paper to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee. This followed the presentation of similar portfolios by the Royal Academicians in the Queen's Coronation and Silver Jubilee years, 1953 and 1977.

Grayson Perry is best known for his ceramics, but works in a variety of media including sculpture, tapestry and performance art. The imagery in his art is an acerbic, witty and frequently bizarre social commentary that relates to his own life and that of his alter ego, Claire. This drawing is a design for a motorbike, custom-made by Harley Davidson, that was ridden by the artist during a performance art tour of Bavaria in 2010. He was accompanied by his teddy bear Alan Measles, who sits in a sedan on the back of the bike. Perry was elected to the Royal Academy in 2011.
