Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Eucatastrophe
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) Image is to be used in the section of the Eucatastrophe article describing the usage of eucatastrophe in J.R.R Tolkien's literary works. The scene depicted in this painting is explicitly described as an example, and the image is to be used for illustrative purposes of eucatastrophe in literary and visual mediums, specifically such specific uses as employed by the author J.R.R Tolkien.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Since J.R.R Tolkien's "The Lord of The Rings" has still not entered the public domain, any portrayals of the work are too young to have the public domain yet. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) While there is at least one other illustration of eucatastrophe in the article, it is my opinion that the purposes of illustration are only best served when shown in more than one visual context, due to the variety of ways in which this literary device is and has been used.

Additionally, this is the only image in the article which helps illustrate the use of eucatastrophe in J.R.R Tolkien's work. I therefore consider the usage to be minimal.

Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
This illustration is available from the artist's own website. Therefore, it is presumably in the owner's opinion that the availability of the file will not harm his commercial opportunities. Additionally, the image as it appears here is of reasonably lower resolution than the one which appears on the author's own website.
