Family history

A close-up, photographic image of a large, meticulously drawn family tree chart spread across a linen-covered table. The chart is rendered on thick, ivory paper with fine, dark ink lines branching like an intricate river system, reminiscent of the San River’s course. Small, blank oval spaces suggest generations without showing any names or text clearly. Beside the chart lie archival cotton gloves, a cloth tape measure, and a small stack of labeled index cards turned away from the camera. Soft golden hour light from a nearby window creates delicate highlights on the paper’s subtle texture and gentle shadows along the inked branches. Shot from a slightly elevated angle with a shallow depth of field, the mood feels precise, elegant, and quietly reverent toward family lineage and connections across Galicia and beyond.
