Worked in oil on canvas panel with the care of an old-master icon, Jay Johnstone’s Yara Greyjoy feels as weathered as the longships she commands. Muted greys, deep blacks and flashes of cold light evoke the storm-lashed coast of Pyke, while the patient layering of paint lends the portrait an age far beyond its years. Yara is shown as the ironborn know her: fearless, loyal to her brother and unbowed by tradition. There is no softness here, only steel and resolve. Johnstone captures a woman who claimed her place by right of strength, embodying the Greyjoy creed: We Do Not Sow.
