Nurse, Elizabeth (1859–1938)| US painter. The painter of forceful scenes of European peasant life, as in Peasant Woman of Borst (1891), Nurse is considered an early social realist. |
| She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. A descendant of the alleged witch Rebecca Nurse, who was burned at the stake in Massachusetts in 1692, Elizabeth studied at the McMicken School of Art (later the Cincinnati Art Academy) with the US painter Thomas Noble (1874–81, 1885–86). She studied in Paris (1887) and settled there. |
