Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Illustrating Tolkien
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) Show the artistic style of Terashima in illustrating the figures of Gandalf and Bilbo in this book, as discussed in the cited source. It is the only image in the section 'A Japanese view, 1965' so it forms no part of any image gallery. The image's caption explains its relevance to the article, and is reliably cited. The text of the section discusses Terashima's illustrations for The Hobbit, noting a Tolkien scholar's critical approval of the quality of the artwork. The image and text are thus tightly integrated, making the image functional rather than "decorative". The image enables readers from around the world, most of whom will not have seen the Japanese edition of the novel, to evaluate Terashima's work for themselves in the light of the discussion in the text, and consider how suitable it is as an illustration for The Hobbit.
