Vietnam: Behind the Lines
Quang Tho (1929-2001)
This graphite drawing shows two women with
boxes of bananas and bread rolls, one opening a notebook. They are
shown underneath a tarpaulin tent with a woven bamboo screen to one
side. Surrounding them are soldiers, some smoking, some eating the
bread rolls and
biscuits.
The sketch is
inscribed 'women entered the battlefield and are selling
cake. Quang Binh.'
