Ha, the Witch-king must have scared the pants off of Éowyn!
Par for the course for Frazetta, who was a fan of bare bottoms on his male and female figures both. I'm surprised there isn't one of a muscular Aragorn in a breechclout and winged helm atop a pile of dead and dying orcs.
I'm a fan -- not many fantasy artists can match Frazetta for dynamic scenes and the evocation of a certain (admittedly narrow) kind of tone. His imagery all but visually defined sword-and-sorcery/sword-and-planet fiction. But he was a specialist. In some alternate reality, Frazetta ran a legendary custom van-painting shop in Venice Beach.
