It has been suggested that the nurse in the present lot is the same as the one who appears in Gilman's works In Sickert's House and Interior, also exhibited at the same Arts Council of Great Britain exhibition, Harold Gilman 1876 - 1919, as no.7 and 8 respectively. The location is thought to depict either Letchworth or Snargate Rectory in Kent (the artist's home). The work belongs to a group depicting Gilman's family and their nurse all painted within a few years.
