      It looks like the old man is introducing the young man to some bad habits….smoking and drinking! The young man looks delighted!
      Sorry I can’t decipher the mama for you.
      Maybe the writing in the back is the name of the painting.

      mssue64, Cool. :-)

      FWIW, the signature in the lower left hand corner looks to me like it could be "Cuoghi," which is not only a real name, but the name of an artist:

      Another artist surnamed Cuoghi:

      They have a signature on file for this one, but you have to have an account to view it. :-(

      I can only add a love because I do honestly love the painting. The style and subject matter reminds me of my youth and learning bad habits. Even though I am paying the price now for over 60 years of smoking I can appreciate this painting and wish I hadn't followed suit. So if you smoke please consider stopping. Not at all a pretty ending. I have said enough I guess.
