Drawing of five robed women holding lamps, a kneeling woman reaching up, and a trumpeting angel in clouds above.

The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins

A pen-and-wash drawing of robed women in a night scene: five standing figures at left hold lamps while a kneeling woman at center reaches upward toward a pointing figure. A trumpet-blowing angel with billowing clouds fills the sky above a distant city, and a doorway appears at right.
