Two Prostitutes[1] (1906) is a watercolour with pastel on paper. Georges Rouault. Purchased in 1967 the work is currently in the National Gallery of Canada.
In 1906, Rouault commenced a series of paintings dedicated to courts, clowns and prostitutes. These paintings are interpreted as moral and social criticism. He became attracted to spiritualism and the dramatic existentialism of the philosopher Jacques Maritain, who remained a close friend for the rest of his life.
