Lunch - Old Man and Companion, 1946
The old man is Edwin's father, who was confined to bed for a while with a gangrenous foot.
Edwin exhibited the painting in his second solo exhibition at the New Gallery, Edinburgh, in August and September 1951. The title in 1951 was Soup in Bed, but Edwin gave it the current title, Lunch - Old Man and Companion, in the 1980s.
