"Two Nymphs" is a painting by Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée, a French artist known for his neoclassical style. The painting depicts two female figures, likely mythological nymphs, in a close-up composition. The work showcases Lagrenée's mastery of detail and subtle expression as the nymphs' delicate features, braided hair adorned with pearls, and flowing drapery are rendered with meticulous care. This piece likely reflects the artistic trends of the late 18th century, where neoclassical ideals of beauty and form were prominent.
