Does Gareth Hind’s portrayal of Beowulf match the way you envisioned him?

Yes.

Explanation:

In my imagination, Beowulf's tale presents itself with a dark, violent and hostile environment due to so many monsters and bloody battles. Among this environment, the portrait of Beowulf by Gareth Hind fully met my expectations, because in addition to representing the environment where the story takes place according to my imagination, it represented Beowulf as I had imagined, a big, strong man with a strong sense of victory.
