Resurrection, or The Frighted Nurse

Thomas Rowlandson

National Gallery of Art

There are two figures in an indoor scene. On the left, an older male is emerging from a vertically positioned rectangular box with a startled expression. On the right, a nurse is seated at a table, with a concerned expression. She leans forward with one arm on an open book and the other holding a candlestick. The background includes draped curtains, an ornate chair, a large window with leaded glass, and detailed moldings. Objects on the floor near the nurse include a teacup and a small blue bottle.
