"Lamia" is a painting by the British artist Herbert James Draper, completed in 1909. The work is a prime example of Draper's preoccupation with mythological themes and his mastery in portraying the female form. The painting is based on the ancient Greek myth of Lamia, a beautiful queen of Libya who becomes a child-eating daemon. In the myth, Lamia is often described as a seductress who lures young men to their doom, and Draper's depiction is consistent with this portrayal, showing Lamia as both alluring and dangerous.

The painting features the central figure of Lamia, depicted with a sensuous and serpentine grace that is characteristic of Draper's style. She is shown with a captivating gaze that seems to both invite and entrap the viewer, embodying the duality of her character as both enchantress and monster. The use of color and light in the painting enhances the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere, with Lamia often bathed in a soft, eerie glow that highlights her supernatural nature.

"Lamia" is considered one of Draper's most significant works and reflects the late Victorian and Edwardian fascination with classical mythology and the femme fatale archetype. The painting is a testament to Draper's skill as an artist and his ability to translate ancient stories into compelling visual narratives. It remains an important piece within the canon of British Symbolist art and continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence and evocative imagery.
