Portrait of Finrod Felagund, by a descendant of Bëor.

“They believed at first that Felagund was one of the Valar... but Felagund dwelt among them and taught them true knowledge, and they loved him, and took him for their lord, and were ever after loyal to the house of Finarfin.”

Nerdanel the Wise

“She was strong, free of mind, and filled with the desire for knowledge...She made images of men and women of the Eldar, and these were so alike that their friends, if they knew not her art, would speak to them.”

(In universe backstory)

This painting of Nerdanel, titled The Sculptor at Work, is painted by her husband, Fëanor. The subject of the unfinished sculpture is believed to be Fëanor himself.

“The face of Elrond was ageless, neither old nor young, though in it was written the memory of many things both glad and sorrowful. His hair was dark as the shadows of twilight, and upon it was set a circlet of silver; his eyes were grey as a clear evening, and in them was a light like the light of stars.”

(In universe backstory)

This portrait of Elrond is painted by Arwen, Queen of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor, in memory of his father. Elrond is shown reading a book in the hallway of Rivendell, with a pavilion hosting the statue of Celebrian in the background. The painting is displayed at the Court of Minas Tirith.

"Most of the stories you hear about dragons are fodder for fools. Talking dragons, dragons hoarding gold and gems, dragons with four legs and bellies big as elephants … nonsense, all of it." -- Tyrion, ADWD

or, is it?

In which Smaug smells one not so familiar dwarf, and Tyrion updates his knowledge on dragons. Can Tyrion talk himself out of this one?
