I'm usually not the biggest fan of the Hildebrandt brothers, too (their way of drawing the characters just doesn't really remind me of LotR), but you are right - there is something charming about this painting (even though Aragorn reminds me very much of Robin Hood ;-)! The two of them are sweet together in this scene and you can definitely see why Aragorn was called "Strider"! :)
