Two Vestal Virgins is a 1719 oil by Nikolaas Verkolje, a Rococo painting work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows two women in a quiet, classical setting. They're dressed in flowing white robes and head coverings, and they're standing in front of a stone wall with a doorway. The woman on the left is holding a small bowl, and the other woman is looking at her with her hand on her chest. The scene is painted in warm, golden colors, with soft shadows and gentle light. The overall mood is peaceful and contemplative. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of artist Nikolaas Verkolje.
