The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A drawing depicts a scene in a hospital room. A woman in a white nurse's uniform and cap stands on the left. A man in a dark military-style uniform with a hat and a red emblem on his chest stands in the center. He has one hand on a chair back. A person in a blue garment sits on the right, facing away from the viewer, with their back to the bed. The bed has a green blanket at the foot and a white sheet. A window with a white curtain and a radiator are on the back wall. The walls are beige.
