About the artwork Description My guardian angel's name is Peter. He was born in 1898 and he died in 1932. Peter had been a merchant slaman (?) all his life, and he drowned in a terrible storm in the North Sea. During his lifetime he never became what he might have been. He guides me and watches over me.
