Marat Samsonov showed a fragment of the hard life of a nurse. On his canvas “Sister”, which he wrote in 1953, he depicted a nurse, who pulls a wounded soldier from the battlefield. His eyes are bandaged, apparently he lost his sight. Fragile girl pulls on himself an adult man, his weapon. Despite the gravity of the situation, she believes that they will win. The image that Marat presented to us is the image of a hero, majestic and courageous. The landscape, which the artist depicted in the picture, only reinforces the whole drama of this episode.
