St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a small figurine showing two children, with one appearing as a nurse dressed in a blue outfit and a white cap adorned with a red cross, comforting the other child who has a bandaged arm and wears a checked pink skirt and tan shoes. The children stand on a green base, and both have detailed facial expressions, hair styled in curls, and large sneakers, capturing a moment of care and empathy. The nurse’s gentle embrace around the injured child's shoulders suggests reassurance and support. The figurine sits on a light surface, surrounded by blurred background elements, emphasizing the interaction between the two figures.
