The answer is his son!
Let's break it down step by step:
The man says, "Brothers and sisters, I have none." → This means he is an only child.
"That man's father is my father's son."
"My father's son" → Since he has no siblings, my father's son refers to himself.
"That man's father, here the father again refers to himself." → This means the man in the picture is his son.
So, the person in the picture is his son! 🎉
