"The Attentive Nurse" (French: "La Nurse attentive") is an oil painting created around 1738 by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin. Renowned for his genre paintings and still lifes, Chardin was a master at capturing the quiet moments of domestic life with a sense of dignity and introspective calm. This painting is a fine example of his skill in portraying the simplicity and serenity of everyday activities.

The painting depicts a nurse or a domestic servant attentively listening to the sound of a child's rattle, which she holds in her hand. The composition is intimate, with the nurse's gaze directed towards the rattle, suggesting a moment of quiet concentration and care. The use of light and shadow, as well as the muted color palette, are characteristic of Chardin's work and contribute to the overall sense of tranquility.

"The Attentive Nurse" is part of Chardin's broader oeuvre that often focused on the lives of ordinary people, a theme that was somewhat revolutionary at a time when historical and mythological subjects dominated the art scene. Chardin's ability to find beauty and significance in the mundane aspects of life made him a pivotal figure in the development of genre painting in the 18th century.

This painting is not only a testament to Chardin's technical prowess but also reflects the cultural and social attitudes of the period. It provides insight into the roles and perceptions of domestic workers in the 18th century, as well as the intimate aspects of child-rearing during this era.

"The Attentive Nurse" is held in high regard for its contribution to the genre of domestic realism and is considered one of Chardin's important works. It continues to be studied and admired for its quiet beauty and the artist's empathetic representation of everyday life.
