Date of publication	1938
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Tolkien's artwork
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Shows the watercolour painting style that Tolkien used for The Hobbit, as discussed in the article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	This exact image is discussed in multiple places in the text. Nothing else would do.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This is the only watercolour image in the article, and indeed the only one of Tolkien's watercolours anywhere on Wikipedia, barring book covers. It's reproduced here at greatly reduced resolution.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The image first appeared in print over 80 years ago, at much better resolution than here, and there has been ample time for the publisher to exploit it and for people to copy it if they wanted.
