"Grandpa's Favourite" is a notable painting by Greek artist Georgios Jakobides (1853–1932), one of the main representatives of the Greek academic art of the 19th century. Created in 1890, this work is exemplary of Jakobides' skill in genre painting, a style that depicts scenes of everyday life with a narrative element. The painting is particularly celebrated for its warm portrayal of intergenerational affection and its meticulous attention to detail.

The artwork features an elderly man, presumably the grandfather, sitting in a domestic interior, absorbed in the act of reading a book. Beside him, a young girl, his granddaughter, is seen with a look of admiration and affection, suggesting she is the 'favourite' alluded to in the title. The interaction between the two figures is central to the painting's charm, capturing a moment of quiet companionship and familial love.

Jakobides' mastery in the use of light and shadow is evident in "Grandpa's Favourite," where the soft illumination enhances the sentimental quality of the scene. The artist's academic training is reflected in the realistic rendering of textures and materials, from the grandfather's weathered skin to the crisp pages of the book and the soft fabrics of the clothing.

"Grandpa's Favourite" is not only a testament to Jakobides' technical prowess but also provides insight into the social and cultural values of his time, emphasizing the importance of family, education, and the transmission of knowledge across generations. The painting remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Georgios Jakobides and continues to be appreciated for its emotional depth and aesthetic beauty.
