Sorry, I misread what you said.  Your solution is fine.  What doesn't work
is

   <owl:Class rdf:ID="Person">
     <rdfs:subClassOf>
       <owl:Restriction>
         <owl:onProperty rdf:resource="#father"/>
         <owl:allValuesFrom rdf:resource="#Person"/>
         <owl:cardinality>1</owl:cardinality>
       </owl:Restriction> 
     </rdfs:subClassOf>
   </owl:Class>
