Artwork Collection at the Embassy and Residence

In August of 1942, immediately following the purchase of the property, Ambassador Jaen Guardia sent a letter to Roberto Lewis, one of Panama's most distinguished artists, requesting that he paint three pieces of art that would reflect Panama's heritage.
