When your family had it?

Actually, my grandmother had made this portrait as a gift for my grandfather. It is a precious painting in which my grandfather is posing in a dashing suit in front of a mango tree. The cat can be seen on the branch of the mango tree. My grandfather was a gentleman. I have never met with him in real just got to know about him from my father.
