"Nausicaä and Her Maidens Playing at Ball" is an oil painting by Sir Edward John Poynter, a prominent English painter of the 19th century known for his historical and mythological subjects. Created in 1879, the painting depicts a scene from Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey," where Nausicaä, the daughter of King Alcinous and Queen Arete of Phaeacia, is seen playing at ball with her handmaidens by the seashore.

The artwork captures a moment of idyllic leisure, set against a classical landscape that reflects Poynter's academic training and his interest in antiquity. The figures of Nausicaä and her maidens are rendered with an attention to anatomical precision and the drapery of their clothing, demonstrating Poynter's skill in portraying the human form and his adherence to the neoclassical aesthetic prevalent during his time.

Poynter's composition is notable for its portrayal of movement and grace, as the maidens are shown in various poses, capturing the dynamism of their game. The use of light and color enhances the sense of harmony and beauty, characteristics often associated with Poynter's work. The painting also reflects the Victorian fascination with classical mythology and the idealization of ancient Greek culture.

As a respected artist of his era, Poynter held various prestigious positions, including the directorship of the National Gallery in London and the presidency of the Royal Academy. "Nausicaä and Her Maidens Playing at Ball" is considered one of his significant works, contributing to his reputation as a leading figure in the British art scene of the late 19th century. The painting is a testament to Poynter's mastery of classical themes and his ability to infuse them with Victorian sensibilities, making it a valuable piece in the study of British art history and the neoclassical revival movement.
