Ah, the master weaver of the Noldor. She must have been foresighted to see all of this tragedy before her son
Fëanor was even born; his death by Gothmog, her grandsons killing Thingol’s grandson, Dior. So sad.
She looks so sad & pretty! Look at poor Maedhros & Fingon in the background. Dolfen is so incredibly talented.
good but sad
This is absolutely beautiful, it captures so much emotion and almost brings tears to my eyes.
Wow, this is one of the most amazing illustrations I ever saw! Really moving…
Aww…sad. I love how everything is going on in the background of both pics.
sad…but very awesome work!
*OMGOSH* thats sooo sad i feel like crying…in fact i will *sobs* but good work tho! keep it up
also…i dunno but 4 some reason the song ‘my last breath’ by evanescence comes to my mind when i saw this pic
*mebbe its cuz theyre both sad*
Amazing, just look at the sadness on her face. 🙁
I love it when artists put their time into something no one else has done. It’s the best art there is.
So very beautifully tragic. A lovely piece of work.
It’s lovely
Oh, it’s so sad *tear* I think she’s weaving the Kinslaying…
At first I thought it was Vairë..
poor miriel. to be foresighted and know the horrors that would happen…it must have been horrible.
lol, that’s good! though some people, like the hanging one and the one on the horse, dont look like movie
elves! *boohoo!*
wow. This is so beautiful! The feelings that must be coursing through her at this moment must be terribly sad.
She’s beautiful and sad…
that is simply amazing!beautiful work ;_;
i love the emotion in this, while writeing this i really AM crying ;_;
so beautiful! good job!
Wow…this is powerful. I love how you worked in all of the main events in their household!
This is stunning. Absolutely beautiful. What a life, weaving that into tapestries long before it happens… 🙁
Gorgeous! I love the detail.
so sad and moving at the same time. I love the . . . . whatever it is shes weaving
I love the way the events are unfolding both in the tapestry and behind her. It’s beautiful!
It almost looks like those series of unfortunate events pics… amazingly beautiful!
She reminds me of Aunt Petunia in Harry Potter!
wish i could make something like that….
*cries* That is so beautiful! I love it! Jenny Dolfen is my hero. Her drawings are all amazing.
Truly beautiful. I love the little twinkle in her eye, you can see her feelings through her eyes. So tragic.
Poor Miriel! She must have cursed her gifts of foresight…
that……….is……….flipping…………..gorgeous
She is sad looking
This is lovely, its just so sad that she is so delicate and still “witnessing” horrible things
tres bien!
This is so incredibly good! You can just see the sadness in her eyes.
;____; it’s so beautiful
Absolutely beautiful. The details are wonderful and I seriously am crying. It’s got so much emotion in it..
She’s not foreseeing these events – She was allowed to return to her body and serve Vaire in the halls of…
… Mandos, where she weaves the history of her own family into tapestries. Which makes it even sadder. 🙁
very cool
Ok, so SHE’s the mother of Feanor. got it. And that’s an awsome picture!
That’s a beautiful picture… Miriel is one of my favorite characters. C’est bien.
Just beautiful! But she looks so sad…
she’s beautiful, but sad, i haven’t read all the silmarrillion yet though, so i don’t know exactly who she is
but who cares! great picture!
interesting…
This is so sad… but beautiful. I love it.
good picture…
this is very beautiful and makes you kind of sad
the gift of foresight is more like a curse than anything. miriel must be extremely strong to withstand it
im surprised she didnt commit suicide before she died
whoops:> anyways, this is a sad pic… the grief on her face:(
What a beautiful Picture! Whose is it? Who painted this? Thanks for sharing this with us.
ah, the Silmarillion, such a work of genius, so many beautiful stories.
