"Two Nymphs - study for Hylas and the Nymphs" is a preparatory work by the renowned British Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse, created circa 1896. This study is a significant piece in the oeuvre of Waterhouse, as it precedes his larger and more famous painting "Hylas and the Nymphs" (1896), which is held in the collection of the Manchester Art Gallery. The study depicts a pair of nymphs, mythological creatures often associated with natural elements such as water, forests, and mountains. In the context of this work, the nymphs are related to the ancient Greek myth of Hylas, a companion of the hero Heracles, who was seduced and abducted by water nymphs.

The painting is executed in Waterhouse's characteristic style, which blends classical mythology with a romanticized, Victorian sensibility. His meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with feminine beauty and mythological themes are evident in this study. The nymphs are typically portrayed as enchanting and ethereal beings, and this work captures their alluring and potentially dangerous nature, as they lure Hylas to his fate.

"Two Nymphs - study for Hylas and the Nymphs" serves as a testament to Waterhouse's methodical approach to composition and his skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and the natural world. As a study, it offers insight into the artist's creative process and the development of one of his most celebrated paintings. Although studies such as this one may not always receive the same level of attention as final works, they are invaluable for understanding the artist's technique and artistic evolution.
