A Riddle (Inspired by The Civil Wars)

I was listening to the great new CD by The Civil Wars this morning on the way into the Mart.  One of the songs (track 6: “My Father’s Father) reminded me of a family debate my dad and my aunts and uncles often had a family parties.  One of them had been presented a riddle, and my family was never able to come to agreement on the meaning.  I’m sure I have the correct answer? 

First let me present the back story that was always told before the riddle was presented:

                A prison warden summoned a prisoner and pointed at a painting behind his desk and told the prisoner that he would pardon him if he could solve this riddle:

                “Brothers and sisters I have none, but this man’s father is my father’s son.”  Who is in the painting?

Hint: disregard the fact that a warden doesn’t have the power to pardon a prisoner.  Presumably, the prisoner didn’t know this basic fact – and I’m not sure if my family did either.
