Must be in the process of dying; if she was dead the nun would be closing her eyes
That's what I thought but I could not figure why at the ear if she was offering a final comforting touch or to speak more clearly to a person who could not move to hear

Are nuns allowed to perform the last rites?
From what I understand a regular person can give if they are allowed by the church I think but normally a priest.
A catholic can perform only the viaticum portion if no priest is available; the rest of the psychopompical ritual are sacraments reserved for the priesthood.
Interesting style. Apart from the miniskirt, looks like the Danish Duchy Wars period. As the Prussians and Danes would be mostly protestant, looks like she's Austrian.

Well, she's dying in a military uniform, so if there's a war on there being more dead and/or dying than the available priests can handle would make sense
