The Nurse (La Nourrice) is a 1862 ink by Johan Barthold Jongkind, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a woman, likely a nurse, sitting on a bench in a rural setting. The woman is dressed in a long, dark dress and has a white apron tied around her waist. She is surrounded by lush greenery, with trees and bushes visible in the background. The atmosphere is peaceful, with the woman appearing to be lost in thought. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, with the woman's face illuminated by a soft, gentle light. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The painting is a beautiful example of the Impressionist movement, with its focus on capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life.
