Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Illustrating Tolkien
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) Shows the exact image and visual style that prompted Tolkien to purchase the painting, allowing readers of the section about depicting the "noble and the heroic" to evaluate for themselves how well Blok has succeeded in depicting those themes, and how compatible his visual style may be with Tolkien's text (such as in the battle chapter, "Helm's Deep"). The image and text support each other, so the image has an important function in the section, rather than being "decorative". It is the only image in the section, so it is not part of a "gallery".
