The picture by Nicola Skinner (9) from Courts Hill Road, a pupil at Camelsdale School, is a winner in a competition run by the BBC's Blue Peter programme, to draw a picture of the Queen to celebrate her golden jubilee.
Her entry in the eight to 10-year age group is among 50 of the best portraits chosen to be exhibited at the National Gallery, from more than 18,000 entries.
Not only will Nicola's picture be professionally framed and hung at an exhibition in the London gallery, but it will also seen by thousands of people when the exhibition goes on a UK tour
The first Nicola knew of her success was when she returned from holiday last month to an answerphone message from the programme makers and then saw her name appear on the television screen on Blue Peter.
"It was just amazing," Nicola told the Herald.
"My mum had seen the competition and said I should have a go and I am so delighted to win," she said.
Nicola sketched a picture of the Queen that she liked, from a magazine.
"It took me about three days to draw a picture of her face and neck using pencils and crayons." Nicola also included in her picture a pear necklace the Queen wore.
Nicola is looking forward to meeting Quentin Blake, one of her favourite artists at the filmed opening of the exhibition on Tuesday.
The film is expected to be shown on TV as part of Blue Peter's golden jubilee party on June 3 between 2-30 pm and 4-30 pm.
Nicola will also be treated to lunch at the National Gallery, a guided tour, plus a trip around London in an open-topped bus. Among the other prizes is a family membership for free entry to museums and galleries, a paint box, paint pad and competition badge.
Nicola who enjoys art, acting, swimming, dancing and wildlife also plays the violin in her school orchestra.
Now looking forward to her great day Nicola, who has a sister Lucy (7), will be attending the celebrations with her mum, Alison.
"Nicola is absolutely blown away by it all, it is things like this that make life so good," said Mrs Skinner.
