Nurse 1914

"Nurse" is a 1914 etching by Lovis Corinth, a German artist known for his expressive, often dramatic, style. The work depicts a woman, likely a nurse, in profile, her features rendered with delicate yet precise lines, emphasizing her strong presence. The etching's loose and gestural quality reflects Corinth's interest in capturing the essence of his subjects. While the work is a portrait, it also hints at the anxieties and sacrifices of those serving in the time of war, contributing to the artist's broader exploration of human emotion and vulnerability.
