Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description Detail of Tove Jansson's drawing of Smaug destroying Lake-town in a fiery assault, in a scene from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Her work has been seen as "expressive", a style that went out of fashion as fantasy illustrations became more "realistic" in appearance.

It seems quite unlikely, not least because of the distance in time since this was published, its unfashionability, and because it is freely available at better resolution on the web, such as at the cited source.
