By God, I'll not lose Hardy!

A rare portrait of Ëonwë, the Maia chief and the herald of Manwë, up close. Who would have it in their possession? Who would have painted it? Was it commissioned by someone? What relationship does the owner of the portrait have with Ëonwë and how did they come to possess it?

Your guess is as good as mine😌

My entry for @fall-for-tolkien event! Finally got to posting the finished version! I took inspiration from Winifred by Frederick Sandys, a prominent pre-Raphaelite painter, while also showcasing how I imagine Ëonwë’s human form: he resembles all things sky, with his hair and skin reminiscent of clouds and the freckles on his skin resembling stars:) considering he was Manwë and Varda’s son in the earlier versions, I think it’s a fitting look for the most powerful Maia who needs to keep his appearance friendly for the People of Arda nonetheless.
