HINT: another way to look at it is to simplify one part - "my father's son". Who is my father's son? Why, Me of course! But that DOES NOT answer the riddle.
Try it this way instead:
A man is walking down a hall...
and turns to a portrait of a man and says "brothers and sisters have I none, but this man's father is (Me)".

HINT: For all of you who say the picture is 'Himself', it would have to read this way:
A man is walking down a hall...
and turns to a portrait of a man and says "brothers and sisters have I none, but this man is (Me)".
Notice the difference?

his son. Think people. If the man walking down the hall has no brothers and sisters, then his father's son is himself. So the father of the man in the portrait is himself. Therefore the portrait is of his son.

Come on now, the portrait has to be his son. The "man's father" that he speaks about is himself and because he shares the same father with the "man's father", he is referring to himself.
