I know art is supposed to be subjective and all, but this is awful, like some high schooler doodled it on the back of their notebook.

That is an above avg doodle but I understand what you are saying.

It’s probably going to go for a lot because QEii just died

For one it’s not, it’s a perfectly fine doodle. The value is in the name.

I mean yeah, it's a perfectly fine doodle that any teenager with an ounce of talent can scribble during class.

You know what then. You do it and sell it for figures.

As you said, value is in the name of some guy that made poor art.

You already know whoever put it up for auction was just waiting for the day she’d kick the bucket

A woman found Warhol’s “Drawing of Queen Elizabeth II” at an estate sale underneath a pile of frames, an auctioneer with Connecticut’s Nest Egg Auctions said. The piece is drawn with red crayon on brown paper, and estimated to be either from the 70s or 80s.
The artwork will go on sale starting Dec. 31. The pre-sale auction estimate is between $10-20k but some of his more notable drawings can fetch upward of $60k, an auctioneer said.
