En av fangene var serberen Ljuban Vuković, i ettertid best kjent som graver i Falstadskogen. En dag i 1944 fikk han med seg et bilde av den 27 år gamle Ingeborg Selbo, datter på Valum. På grunnlag av fotografiet laget en av medfangene hans denne tegningen. Portrettet er tegnet med kull, på et tøystykke som Ingeborg hadde sendt med.

During the war several prisoners at Falstad were ordered to work in the forest at the farm Valum nearby the camp. This type of work represented a much desired break from prison life, and also a possibility of eating, resting and being cared for by members of the local community. Many of the prisoners expressed their gratitude towards local residents by giving them things made in the camp workshops.

We don't know the identity of the artist who made the drawing. All we know is that he was from the former Soviet Union. The text written at the bottom of the picture says: "To Ingeborg. From Mikol". The numbers "IX.IX.44" is probably the date of drawing. (Item number FSM 49:5)
