Achaius of Scotland, with Geneology is a 1675 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a black-and-white family tree with a crown-wearing man at the top. His face is inside a circle, holding a sword and orb. Below him, names like "Donald" and "Kenneth" branch out in ovals, each connected by lines like roots. Crowns and shields decorate the edges. The top figure looks like a king, but the text around him is in Latin. The whole thing seems to map out royal bloodlines, probably for Scotland.
