Works by Elizabeth Nourse (1859-1938), in the public domain, each linked to its record in the museum that holds it: the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the New Britain Museum of American Art and the Musée d'Orsay. Born in Cincinnati, she settled in Paris in 1887 and exhibited at the Salon; she painted mostly women and children, peasant scenes and interiors. Only works that these museums give to her without reservation and of which a freely reusable photograph exists are included (public domain, CC0 or a Creative Commons licence naming the photographer); images are shown cropped, without their frame when it appeared in the photograph. The titles are those of the museums, with their translation.
