This print showcases "The Wise and Foolish Virgins" engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition, published around 1880. Inspired by Matthew XXV, 1-13 from the New Testament, this biblical story explores themes of wisdom and foolishness through the depiction of virgins awaiting the arrival of their bridegroom. The image beautifully captures the contrasting emotions on each woman's face - some displaying anticipation and preparedness while others reveal regret or anxiety. The artist skillfully portrays these characters to convey a powerful message about being vigilant in one's spiritual journey. As we delve into this timeless tale, we are reminded to be wise in our choices and actions, always seeking enlightenment. "The Wise and Foolish Virgins" engraving serves as a visual reminder that life presents us with opportunities to make prudent decisions or succumb to folly.

Through its intricate details and emotive expressions, this artwork transcends time and continues to resonate with audiences today.
