This painting is so evocative, I can almost imagine what her voice must have sounded like: soft, calm, and reassuring, matching the kindnessof her eyes and her composure.
This picture can be found online with the name "Portrait of a St. John Ambulance Nursing Sister, Voluntary Aid Detachment, 1917". Most descriptions say "private collection" so presumably it is still owned by the same family
My guess is that she's worth a lot more now than when this was filmed. She's absolutely extraordinary.
I found this to be a real tearjerker. She looks so real you can almost expect her to talk. To me she is Florence Nightingale.

Such a moving, sensitive portrait.
Nurses have seen alot.
That painting really touched me and I don't know why. That's the magic of real art, I guess.
That almost monochromatic background and her plain uniform emphasises that wonderful face. What a painting.
WW1 nurse looks better than most I've seen past 20 years. Just an observation from this magnificent painting.

Does anyone else think she looks like Charlotte Ritchie, AKA Nurse Barbara Gilbert on Call the Midwife?
