One of the illustrations I've made for "The Rise of the Dragon: an illustrated History of the Targaryen Dynasty, volume one" by George R.R. Martin, Elio M. García and Linda Antonsson.
It has been a great honor to work on such an amazing project with great artists.
Jonquil's pool is the first of many others I have the pleasure to share with all of you! Stay tuned :)
"Maidenpool is a town in the eastern riverlands situated along the southern shore of the Bay of Crabs. It is the seat of House Mooton. The town is famed for its sweetwater bathhouse, Jonquil's Pool. (...) The great stone bathhouse surrounding the spring-fed pool is maintained by an order of holy sisters from the Faith of the Seven. Men are forbidden from entering the structure and its waters.
According to legend, Florian the Fool first saw Jonquil and her sisters bathing in the spring-fed pool during the Age of Heroes. The waters are said to be blessed with healing properties. The town of Maidenpool is named after the water, and centuries ago House Mooton built a stone bathhouse around the pool"
