"...he drew forth the Arkenstone, and threw away the wrapping. The Elvenking himself, whose eyes were used to things of wonder and beauty, stood up in amazement. Even Bard gazed marvelling at it in silence. It was as if a globe had been filled with moonlight and hung before them in a new woven of the glint of frosty stars." - The Hobbit, Chapter XVI: A Thief in the Night
In this famous scene from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Bilbo is thin and journey-hardened. His hair is long and hangs dripping across his brow and shoulders from his fall into the river. He is clad in mithril and carrying Sting. He is not quite the same person who set out from The Hill in April.
A few seconds after the scene shown here in which Bilbo brings forth the Arkenstone, pilfered from the mountain hoard, Thranduil will rise to his elegant, glimmering feet and Bilbo will hand the treasure over to grim, brave Bard the Bowman. But in this precise moment, the hobbit is having to wrestle with regret at the thought of letting the splendid object go.
This painting celebrates Bilbo making the wise choice - giving up the Arkenstone for the sake of fellowship and peace. Many years later, he will do the same with the Ring. If you are an admirer of Bilbo's character, hanging a museum-quality print of this original hand-done painting in your home could be a source of inspiration and celebration.
