Description
Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins in "The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King"

This is actually a sketch I did 3 or 4 years ago, but didn't finish it then. I found it the other day by accicdent and thought I would complete it eventually.

Charcoal and crayons on off white cartridge, 29,7 x 21 cm

At their last halt Frodo sank down and said: 'I'm thirsty, Sam,' and did not speak again. Sam gave him a mouthful of water; only one more mouthful remained. He went without himself; and now as once more the night of Mordor closed over them, through all his thoughts came the memory of water; and every brook or stream or fount that he had ever seen, under green willow-shades or twinkling in the sun, danced and rippled for his torment behind the blindness of his eyes. He felt the cool mud about his toes as he paddled in the Pool at Bywater with Jolly Cotton and Tom and Nibs, and their sister Rosie. ‘But that was years ago,’ he sighed, ‘and far away. The way back, if there is one, goes past the Mountain.’

(J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Return of the King", Chapter "Mount Doom")
