This painting is a portrait of Ebrahim Poordavood (1885-1968), a scholar who devoted his life to research into the history of Iran and ancient Persian languages. Poordavood is the author of many books on Iranian culture and languages and has played a significant role in teaching the Iranians about their past and their heritage. 

This painting is a homage to Poordavood and his love for his country. In this work, Poordavood's continual relationship with earth and the sky has been illustrated and his image has been portrayed as an archaic sculpture.
