About the Item

The narrative, described as “an absorbing novelette of modern hospital life,” follows Eunice Watson, a nurse whose beauty runs more than skin-deep, which could prove to be a fatal gift in her profession. The scene shows Eunice attending to a glamorous woman lounging and talking on the telephone. The accompanying published caption reads: “The week she nursed Shirley Gwynn in her hotel suite was the maddest Eunice had ever spent.” Medium: Oil on Canvas Dimensions: 30.00" x 35.00" Signature: Signed Upper Right
