I did this picture as an afterthought, having forgotten it was in this chapter until I reread the chapter to get the description of Astapor right. The composition is similar to the one I did of Robb executing Ricard Karstark. Though I think it works better because Robert is farther off. Having said that, I probably should have put Rhaegar’s body lower down.
