Description

Lake-town, or Esgaroth was a was the township of the Lake-men constructed entirely of wood and standing upon wooden pillars sunk into the bed of the Long Lake, south of the Lonely Mountain and east of Mirkwood. The town's prosperity was built on trade between the Men, Elves and Dwarves of northern Middle-earth. The town was attacked by the dragon Smaug, who destroyed most of it, but he was killed by Bard the Bowman, fell on the town and sunk in the lake. Later the Lake-town was rebuilt north of its former location.

pen and watercolour

This picture (together with two others: Barad Eithel and Tol Sirion ) was drawn for an art contest "O lahvičku miruvoru" ("For a bottle of miruvor") by Czech Tolkien society . I got second place.

If you like my Tolkien-related art, look at my related journal or gallery folder .
But you can find even more of my pictures on my website Angrenost.cz . It's in Czech, but you can still look over the gallery of illustrations . Enjoy!
