Not everyone has family that they can have photographs of, Elena. Some people are on their own.

( he does have pictures there, both old and new but he tends to not display them, wanting to keep those things for his own.

the compound back home is ostentatious and pretentious with its portraits of the mikaelsons but, at least, they're not displayed all over.

he moves around the room, opening drawers here and there but doesn't find another picture. )

Perhaps that's the only one. Whoever was here left in a rush and wasn't able to collect that.
