Red Cross Nurse is a 1918 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a woman sitting at a table, wearing a long veil over her head. She looks thoughtful, and her expression is quiet. Her role as a nurse is evident, and it's clear she's taking a moment to herself. This lithograph was made during World War I, a time when nurses played a crucial role. The artist chose to focus on the nurse's contemplative expression, rather than showing her in action. Check out the work of artist: Hassam, Childe to learn more about his style and other artworks.
