The movies have provided us with particular images of Elrond. Some artists, however, give an alternative impression of the character, drawn from their interpretations of Tolkien's writings, and depict him in other settings than those made familiar by the movies.
The images shown here are copyright to the respective artists and are used with permission - many thanks to all of them. For any enquiries concerning further use of an image, please contact the artist directly.
