"Playing Nurse" is an oil painting by the 19th-century French artist Henriette Browne, a pseudonym for Sophie Boutellier. Created in 1852, the painting is a fine example of Browne's work, which often depicted scenes of domestic life and women's roles in society. The painting portrays a young girl, presumably from an affluent background, tending to a doll in a nurturing manner, thus imitating the role of a nurse. This subject matter reflects the social expectations and gender roles of the period, where young girls were often encouraged to engage in play that prepared them for future responsibilities as caregivers.

Henriette Browne was known for her genre paintings and was one of the few successful female artists of her time. Her work was well-received in the Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. "Playing Nurse" is characteristic of her attention to detail and her ability to capture the innocence of childhood as well as the subtleties of female experience.

The painting not only offers insight into the societal norms of the mid-19th century but also serves as an example of the limited roles available to women in the arts during this period. As a woman artist, Browne's choice of subject matter was both a reflection of her own experiences and a commentary on the broader context of women's place in society.

Today, "Playing Nurse" is recognized for its artistic merit as well as its cultural significance. It is often cited in discussions of gender roles in art and the history of women artists in the 19th century. The painting is part of a larger body of work by Henriette Browne that contributes to our understanding of the social history of the era and the evolution of genre painting in France.
