Description: | This portrait shows a woman, wearing a traditional nurse's uniform consisting of a white pinafore, navy blue cape and cap. It is important that her occupation is included to show that women lead professional lives rather than just being painted in their leisure time. Little is known about this piece but it is clear that the representation of this woman has not been idealised, it has been painted in a realistic light. Irene Welburn has portrayed Nurse Brown with dignity and professionalism and has empowered this woman.
