FRITO BASTIEN
 
Grandfather shows an older man that is peering at the viewer with a deep gaze that is filled with wisdom. He proudly stands in a bright room, modest home, smoking a pipe, giving the painting an enchanting and warm feeling.
 
There is so much detail in this painting from the lines and gray hair on the grandfather to the hand painted  furniture and finally to women in standing in the doorway creating secondary backdrop of a beautiful island scene.
