St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a whimsical figurine of a nurse, characterized by a playful expression and wearing a white uniform with a name badge that reads "NURSE," along with a humorous "OUT OF ORDER" sign. Her curly hair peeks out from under her nurse cap, and a red clown nose adds a comical touch to her face. Resting her head on her hand, she leans against a well-detailed medical cart stocked with tiny items. Her bare feet soak in a small foot bath beside her neatly placed shoes. The purple background contrasts with the figurine's details, emphasizing the lighthearted and relaxed atmosphere conveyed by the nurse's pose and features.

Description

Ceramic figurine of a tired nurse in clown makeup soaking her feet while leaning on a cart filled with pills, wearing an out of order sign and a “Nurse Pill” name tag. Tied around one arm is a tag from Judi’s Pastime titled “Just Clown’n.” On the inside is a printed message: “Congratulations! You now own one of my original creations. Each of my pieces combines the special talents of artist and designer to assure you of a finely detailed, hand-painted collectible. Having been a collector myself, I have designed my clowns to show that there can be humor in every day life. As I go on designing my line, I intend to gently poke fun at people from all walks of life. This only goes to prove what I’ve said all along, there is a little bit of clown in all of us. - Judi.”
