Latest in my Tolkien women series - A Beörian wise-woman.
May 2017 (Charcoal, inspired by 'Portrait of a Lady in a Green Dress' by J.W. Waterhouse)
“Of the Wise some were women, and they were greatly esteemed (...), especially for their knowledge of the legends of ancient days. (Morgoth's Ring)
“In the First Age, the Edain counted some of their number among the Wise. Of the Wise, some were wise-women, who often remained unwed, but during their lives they chose successors to whom they would pass their wisdom. The Wise, both men and women, learned the history, legends, and lore of the Edain according to the various traditions to which they belonged.” (Starry Mantle, LOTR Online)
