VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an illustration of a woman dressed in early 20th-century nurse's attire, standing in profile with her body slightly turned towards the viewer. She appears contemplative or perhaps waiting, with one hand raised to her chin and the other held behind her back. Her uniform consists of a long-sleeved white dress that reaches below the knees, cinched at the waist, and complete with a Red Cross armband on her left arm—indicating her role as a medical professional during wartime or in humanitarian service.
She wears sensible black shoes with low heels suitable for long hours of work. A traditional nurse’s cap sits neatly upon her head, complementing the modest yet functional outfit designed for ease of movement and practicality in medical settings. The image exudes an air of quiet dedication and resilience characteristic of nurses from this era. The caption "THE LITTLE SISTER" suggests a term of endearment often used for nurses who were seen as caring siblings to their patients during times when compassion was as critical as medical care itself.
The artwork style has soft colors with gentle shading that gives it an almost ethereal quality while still capturing fine details like folds in the fabric and individual strands within the tied-back hairstyle. This piece likely serves both as a tribute to nurses' essential roles and possibly also as propaganda encouraging others to serve similarly during periods such as World War I when there was great need for nursing staff.
