This portrait represents an idealized version of J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien is depicted as he would have looked during the 1950s or 60s, around the time he was writing The Lord of the Rings. He is seen living in a Hobbit-hole; his chair bears the Livery of Elendil; he is smoking a pipe and working on some manuscripts; part of the Doors of Durin can be seen, while the drawing he is working on seems to be Bilbo comes to the Huts of the Raft-elves.
On his library, early covers of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are visible. On the coffee table there are two cups of tea (or coffee) bearing the emblems of Beren and Luthien suggesting that they belong to himself and his wife, Edith Tolkien.
