___
The Earl of Nazmart sits in the warlike hall of his ancestors. His daughter Belarith has come before him and tries to cheer him, but he cannot stop worrying over the fate of his only son, who may already lie dead on the field of battle.

___

In the hall of his ancestors
with their armour hung around
sat and brooded the earl Kaidard
and with him his faithful hound.
His daughter came and touched his hand
both felt the same concern
about her brother- and his son-
and if he would return.

Kaidard beheld his daughter
with a look loving and fond
But even she could not lift him
from his slough of despond.

Very nice. I love the subject matter. The proportions are very good. The more I look at it, the more interesting it is. There is no lack of detail. There may be too much light in the foreground, unless that was the artist's intention (to emphasize the subject). Even so, it does not render the figures "flat". Very nice piece.
