The image depicts a man dedicate to the lost tradition of documenting the history of his line. His face tells of the duty he observes. He chooses to commit to the time required and observes a reverence for documenting the trials of his bloodline by his own hand. He would never know that our society would become so frivolous that this well observed tradition would be dead a mere 300years later.
