P.W. Erminio Ghislieri
Oil painting of internee Erminio Ghislieri by fellow Italian Canadian internee Vincenzo Poggi. Ghislieri stands leaning against a wooden railing. He is wearing the prisoner uniform and a red bulls-eye is visible on his left arm. In his breast pocket he carries a pen and two coloured pencils. In the left background another internee sits on a bench in uniform. Behind Ghislieri's left shoulder a guard tower and guard is visible. A river is visible in the background.
