WIP Diamond Painting Diligence by Albert Anker - Hand Charting Diamond painting canvas - Symbols

I am choosing symbols for the diamond painting kit, Diligence. A beloved old masters painting. Sadly for us, this old masters painting is in a private collection and we do not have the priviledge of viewing it.
Diamond paint along with me while I explain how and why I chose the symbols, and how they are put in an order and the re-ordered.
