I particularly like the painting-portrait of Priscilla in what I think is the drawing room of her house. I don’t know if that’s a Tolkien Piano in the background but I do recognize the photo of her parents in the garden at Sandfield Road. I get the feeling that many of the items around the edges of the painting have personal significance, like the pieta and the metronome.
Anyway a nice piece and a nice picture; I’ve printed it out to insert in my copy of THE TOLKIEN FAMILY ALBUM.
