"Lesbia and her Sparrow" is an oil painting by Sir Edward John Poynter (1836–1919), a British painter, designer, and draughtsman who served as President of the Royal Academy. Created in 1907, the artwork depicts a scene inspired by the ancient Roman poet Catullus's poems, which often featured his lover, Lesbia, and her pet sparrow. Poynter's painting is a romantic representation that captures the intimate bond between Lesbia and her bird, a subject that has been interpreted by various artists throughout history due to its poetic and emotional resonance.

In the painting, Lesbia is portrayed as an elegant and contemplative figure, embodying the classical beauty ideals of the time. The sparrow, a central element in the composition, is shown interacting with Lesbia, thereby illustrating the affectionate relationship described in Catullus's poetry. Poynter's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, use of rich colors, and adherence to the academic style of painting, which was prevalent during the Victorian era.

"Lesbia and her Sparrow" is a testament to Poynter's skill in historical and literary subjects, as he often drew inspiration from classical antiquity and mythology. The painting not only reflects the aesthetic tastes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries but also serves as an example of the cultural fascination with the romantic and sometimes idealized interpretations of the past. The artwork is part of Poynter's broader oeuvre, which includes a range of subjects from classical themes to biblical narratives, showcasing his versatility and influence as a leading figure in British art during his lifetime.
