EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas portrait, titled "Alice Fisher, Chief Nurse" is a remarkable piece of art by Alice Barber Stephens. Displayed at the Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent, this painting captures the essence of a strong and dedicated woman in her profession. In this image, we see Alice Fisher seated with an austere expression, exuding wisdom and experience. Dressed in her nurses uniform and wearing a cap that signifies her position as Chief Nurse, she commands respect and admiration. The attention to detail in capturing every wrinkle on her aged face adds depth to the painting, emphasizing the years of service she has devoted to caring for others. The interior setting creates a sense of nostalgia as it showcases an old bureau behind Alice Fisher. This backdrop serves as a reminder of the historical significance attached to her role as Chief Nurse during that era. Stephens' masterful brushstrokes bring life to this three-quarter-length portrait. The use of light and shadow highlights Fisher's matronly presence while also adding dimensionality to the overall composition. As we gaze upon this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time when nursing was not just a profession but also a calling. It reminds us of the dedication and sacrifice made by individuals like Alice Fisher who played pivotal roles in shaping healthcare history.
