This is a special drawing of my grandfather whom I've never met. The photograph was taken circa 1940'ish, I believe? I'm not for sure but this looks like a student photo so I'm going to estimate it's in the '40's considering my father is the eldest and born early '50's. I love old photographs and I had my eyes set on this one for a long time now.

This will be a birthday gift for my father in August. Hopefully he will be happy with it and will proudly hang him next to my grandmother's portrait I did for him last Christmas.
