The Parable of the Ten Virgins (he Parables of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ) 1864 After Sir John Everett Millais British It took Millais seven years to design twenty images inspired by New Testament Parables for the Dalziel Brothers, and the resulting prints are considered pinnacles of wood engraved illustration. The artist wrote to his publishers, "I can do ordinary drawings as quickly as most men, but these designs can scarcely be regarded in the same light—each Parable I illustrate perhaps a dozen times before I fix the image." After completing a design, Millais transferred it to a woodblock coated with "Chinese" white for skilled engravers to carve. Finally, he reviewed proofs, and final adjustments were made before the final printing.The Parable of the Ten (or Wise and Foolish Virgins) appears in Matthew 25: 1-13, and inspired two designs, this image representing both the wise girls are prepared for a journey and leave on time to attend a wedding feast, while foolish ones
