Art Studio at Stargard
Description:
Four prisoners of war are hard at work on different projects in the artist studio in Stargard. Examples of their work include caricatures of soldiers, portraits of prisoners, and a Russian artist working on a painting of the Madonna and child. The bunk to the left suggests that the artists lived in their studio. Some painters offered art classes to POWs as part of the educational curriculum in prison camps.
