Virtuous nun is a 1789 oil by Paul Joseph Bardou, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
The painting depicts a woman in a white robe kneeling on the floor, her hands clasped together in prayer. She wears a white head covering and has a rosary around her neck. Beside her stands a man dressed in dark attire, holding a sword in his right hand and a book in his left. The scene is set in a room with an arched window, where a statue of a woman can be seen outside. In the foreground, the man's sword and the woman's rosary are prominent details. The woman's white attire and the man's dark clothing create a striking contrast. This painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw.
