Description
Another fanfiction illustration, this time for Lady Roisin's The First Queen as a (very early) Christmas gift.

There's a quote in Jane Austen's History of England (which you should totally read: it is short, tongue-in-cheek, and altogether hysterical, and it's up for free over at Project Gutenberg [link] ) which also fits some of Tolkien's writings very well:
"It is to be supposed that [he] was married, since he had certainly four sons, but it is not in my power to inform the Reader who was his wife..."

In fact the prince in question had five sons (and two daughters), but never mind. We, of course know (or stealthily wiki'd it) that the woman in question was Mary de Bohun. Likewise, Lady Roisin has made it her task to give names and faces to the women of Tolkien's legendarium who must have existed (as all them Númenorean kings certainly had offspring, and can hardly have produced that all by their onesies), which is a purpose of which I fully approve.
The most recent (though chronologically the first) is Laurianna, the wife of Elros, whom you can see depicted here (reading Austen does strange things to my syntax, did you notice?). The reasonably newly married couple, suddenly bereft of the turmoils of their respective youths and crowned king and queen of Númenor, can't sleep yet. Bonus appearance by the groom's father...

Yes, I'm afraid this is quite similar to "The Lion and the Doe" - loving couple, a nice architectural vantage point, some nondescript nightly background, and a starry sky. That is because I actually have a very limited repertoire of backgrounds and postures. >_>
