"Twee nimfen" (Two Nymphs) is a 1937 woodcut by French sculptor and printmaker Aristide Maillol. The piece depicts two female figures, clad in flowing robes, walking together. Their simplified forms and delicate lines are characteristic of Maillol's style, which drew inspiration from classical sculpture. The work is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and exemplifies Maillol's exploration of the human figure in a timeless and idealized manner.
