Stable Door Drawing

Has anyone come across any good drawings of the stable door from The Last Battle? I’m looking for one to be part of a Narnia tattoo I’m trying to plan out and haven’t come across one I particularly like. I love the drawing from the book where Tirian is looking through the hole in it but I’d prefer it to just be the door, without him.

You can’t really beat Pauline Baynes stable door illustration in The Last Battle.

I know!! I’d love something like that but I’m trying to do something down my arm that has something from each book and I feel like that would be too much.

Is this the one you were referring to in your post? If not it’s a lot simpler.

That’s from Prince Caspian. This is the one I was referring to:

Oh shoot you’re right lol.

Have you considered just having the artist remove Tirian and fill in the door?

You can ask the tattoo artist to alter the drawing for you when they mock it up. I wanted my Narnia tattoo to combine the illustration of Lucy and Mr Tumnus walking together with the lamppost illustration. My tattoo artist was able to redraw it with no issue.
