So the people in this picture are Noldorian princes from Tolkien’s “The Silmarillion” (from left to right) Fëanor, Fingolfin and Finarfin Arafinwë.

"Finwë was King of the Noldor. The sons of Finwë were Fëanor, and Fingolfin, and Finarfin; but the mother of Fëanor was Míriel Serindë, whereas the mother of Fingolfin and Finarfin was Indis of the Vanyar. Fëanor was the mightiest in skill of word and hand, more learned than his brothers; his spirit burned as a flame. Fingolfin was the strongest, the most steadfast, and the most valiant. Finarfin was the fairest, and the most wise of heart; and afterwards he was a friend of the sons of Olwë, lord of the Teleri, and had to wife Eärwen, the swan-maiden of Alqualondë, Olwë's daughter." The Silmarillion, Chapter 5 "Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië"

Fëanor Curufinwë was the son of Finwë and Míriel. After he was born his mother died and Finwë married an elf of the Vanyar named Indis. Fëanor’s wife was Nerdanel, and he had seven sons: Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin, Amrod and Amras.

“…Fëanor grew swiftly, as if a secret fire were kindled within him. He was tall, and fair of face, and masterful, his eyes piercingly bight and his hair was raven-dark; in the pursuit of all his purposes eager and steadfast. Few ever changed his courses by counsel, none by force. He became of all the Noldor, then or after, the most subtle in mind and the most skilled in hand.” ~ “The Silmarillion” Chapter 6; “Of Fëanor and the Unchaining of Melkor”

Fingolfin was the eldest son of Finwë and Indis. He was the brother of Finarfin and half-brother of Fëanor. He had two sons and a daughter: Fingon, Turgon and Aredhel.

Finarfin Arafinwë was the son of Finwë and Indis. Brother of Fingolfin, and half brother of Fëanor. Married Eärwen and had four children: Finrod Felagund, Angrod, Aegnor and Galadriel. He was the only one who had golden hair of Finwë’s sons.
