Names of the family have been printed onto paper and mounted onto the right of the canvas to look like a family tree. The various family photos have all been aged and mounted onto the canvas in a way that follows the family tree style of the picture. Finishing touches include corners to the photographs, a stamped title and pocket watch and copper brads on the corners.
