I remember this painting. My parents are into antroposphy / theosophy, and we had many old folklore and fairy tail books. I had a poster of him in my bedroom from 'Among Gnomes and Trolls'

Tragically died at 36, 3 years after painting this.

Him, his wife and their child drowned 500m from port in a storm. The ship was poorly loaded with freight that shifted about and capsized :(

I have nightmares drowning, I am glad I do it only in dreams.

Oddly, in dreams I breathe underwater.
