Willem Jacob Herreyns' "Drie priesteressen bij een offeraltaar," a brown ink and wash drawing, is a small-scale piece that depicts three priestesses standing around an altar. The priestesses are dressed in flowing robes, their faces partially obscured by their hair or veils. The drawing, currently in the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment of ritual and devotion, inviting viewers to contemplate the solemnity of the scene and the significance of the offering being made.
