Description
A view of the sleeping arrangements inside one of the rooms at the Palembang prisoner of war camp at 10pm in the evening. The women are all sleeping on the floor or on makeshift beds. Each of the women has her name written beside her and some of the characteristics of the individual women are made evident in the drawing. This is one of many pencil and pen and ink sketches made by Agnes Betty Jeffrey while she was a prisoner of war in Palembang.
