"Lesbia and Her Sparrow" is a painting by the British artist Sir Edward John Poynter, created in 1907. Poynter, a prominent figure in the Victorian art scene, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture classical themes with a modern sensibility. The painting draws inspiration from the poetry of the ancient Roman poet Catullus, specifically his verses about Lesbia and her pet sparrow. In Catullus's poems, Lesbia is a pseudonym for his lover, traditionally identified with Clodia Metelli, a woman of high social standing in Rome.

The artwork depicts Lesbia in a serene and intimate moment with her sparrow, a symbol of her affection and the subject of Catullus's tender and sometimes playful verses. Poynter's portrayal of Lesbia is both idealized and deeply human, capturing the grace and beauty that the poet attributed to her. The sparrow, a small but significant element in the painting, adds a layer of personal connection and emotional depth, reflecting the intimate bond described in the poetry.

Poynter's use of color, light, and composition in "Lesbia and Her Sparrow" demonstrates his mastery of the academic style, while also infusing the work with a sense of warmth and immediacy. The painting is characterized by its rich, warm tones and the delicate rendering of textures, from the softness of Lesbia's garments to the intricate details of the sparrow's feathers.

"Lesbia and Her Sparrow" is a testament to Poynter's ability to blend classical themes with a contemporary approach, making ancient literary subjects accessible and engaging for modern audiences. The painting remains a significant example of Poynter's oeuvre and a notable piece within the broader context of Victorian art, reflecting the era's fascination with classical antiquity and its enduring influence on Western art and literature.
