Gran-pa Joad Portrait.

Illustration of Gran-pa Joad from The Grapes of Wrath illustrated edition, v.1, p.163, by Thomas Hart Benton, a native of eastern Oklahoma, who was assigned to draw archetypal Oklahomans for 20th Century Fox as the studio believed that would make the casting more accurate. "The breathing had stopped. Casy looked down into Granpa's eyes and they were clear and deep and penetrating, and there was a knowing serene look in them."
