Serenei was the most beautiful of Aegon's mistresses, but she was also reputed to be a sorceress. She died giving birth to the last of the king's bastard children, a girl called Shiera Seastar who became the greatest beauty in the Seven Kingdoms, beloved of both her half brothers, Bittersteel and Bloodraven, whose rivalry would ripen to hatred. -- TWOIAF

She would sooner have returned to Meereen on dragon’s wings, to be sure. But that was a desire Drogon did not seem to share. — A Dance with Dragons

“What do you think a knight is for, girl? You think it's all taking favors from ladies and looking fine in gold plate? Knights are for killing. I killed my first man at twelve. I've lost count of how many I've killed since then. High lords with old names, fat rich men dressed in velvet, knights puffed up like bladders with their honors, yes, and women and children too—they're all meat, and I'm the butcher.”
—A Clash of Kings, Sansa IV

After the cover art was released I recall reading a couple of comments on how Rhaegar being in the dark and Lyanna being in the light was about portraying their relationship negatively.
Turns out it’s just an artistic style that Justin Sweet tends to use and as such adds no deeper meaning to the characters portrayed. For example, with Melisandre and Jon Snow here, a similar style being used:
Or here with the Winter Rose being in the dark in the background:

Rhaenys, youngest of the three Targaryens, was all her sister was not, playful, curious, impulsive, given to flights of fancy. No true warrior, Rhaenys loved music, dancing, and poetry, and supported many a singer, mummer, and puppeteer. Yet it was said that Rhaenys spent more time on dragonback than her brother and sister combined, for above all things she loved to fly. -- Fire and Blood

New art by Justin Sweet depicting Rhaegar and Lyanna! It's so pretty 😍
Lyanna doesn't look distressed or kidnapped to me, in fact, she seems to be enjoying herself walking on the giant tree roots in the woods with Rhaegar watching over her.

ABOUT THIS POST:
Some people didn't like my comment, but the newly published ASOIAF Calendar supports my comment.
Bael the Bard, Brandon Stark and The Winter Rose from 2024 ASOIAF Calendar by Justin Sweet;
The Winter Rose has a dark haired Stark look and a blue rose in her hair.
When we look at Justin Sweet's other drawings, we see that The Winter Rose looks like Arya and Lyanna.
Arya Stark from The World of Ice and Fire by Justin Sweet / Lyanna Stark from 2024 ASOIAF Calendar by Justin Sweet;
I would like to remind you that these drawings were selected by GRRM. So The Winter Rose doesn't have red hair. The Winter Rose has nothing to do with Sansa and Catelyn.

Hey look at that, the Stark maiden and daughter of Brandon Stark - ‘The Winter Rose’ - with canon accurate dark hair and a blue rose on it by Justin Sweet! The same artist who gave us the GRRM approved fanart of Jon Snow, Arya Stark and Daenerys Targaryen in the World of Ice and Fire book.
With the GRRM approved artwork of Rhaegar/Lyanna with the blue roses and Bael the Bard/Winter Rose and then GRRM mentioning in his recent blog post that they are working on the stage play that’s about the Tourney at Harrenhal, seems like a tad too much artwork for tertiary characters.
I do think we will be getting a lot of information/story about the Robert’s Rebellion characters and what actually happened then in TWoW and as GRRM keeps writing more and more and hopefully (🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽) inching towards a finish line there’s more of a mention of these background characters in official merch like this.
