The Portrait - A Double Drabble  by Agape4Gondor 3 Review(s)

Ah, a portrait for the Steward. Of his lost Finduilas, or of his sons together? Either way, it is a lovely thought.

Author Reply: Thanks, Larner,

I guess it doesn't much matter - but for me, it was a portrait of Finduilas... but I like the idea of one of the two boys! Yes indeed!

I would say that Boromir's gift to Denethor was probably a portrait of Finduilas or a portrait of himself with Faramir. A very sweet and thoughtful gift. Too bad though, that Boromir doesn't have the gift of seeing visions of the future--he could have gotten his father a set of long-wearing, flame-retardant clothing, which might have ultimately proven more useful :)!

Author Reply: Julia, what a macabre sense of humour you have!

You are definitely correct about clothing for Denethor though - too bad!

Also, I felt it was a portrait of Finduilas herself that Boromir was going to have commissioned. But I did want to leave it in the imaginations of the reader.

Thanks for reviewing,
Agape

Ah, sometimes Boromir really does have a sense of the appropriate.

Interesting image of an art gallery in Minas Tirith -- I'm picturing a place like those Renaissance paintings of art galleries that you sometimes see, where the point was for the artist of the big painting to show off his skills at painting miniatures by painting all the little pictures in the gallery. It speaks to a large enough bourgeois population to afford luxuries like art, and to be able to support at least two galleries as well. Minas Tirith does seem to have been the place to be in the Third Age.
