"Study for One of the Queen of Sheba's Attendants in The Queen of Sheba's Visit to King Solomon" is a preparatory work by the British artist Sir Edward John Poynter (1836–1919). This study is part of the artist's process in creating his larger and more famous painting, "The Visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon," which was completed in 1890. Poynter, a prominent figure in the Victorian era of British art, was known for his historical and classical subjects, often imbued with a rich academic detail that was characteristic of the period.

The study itself is an example of Poynter's meticulous approach to composition and his interest in the exotic and historical themes that were popular among the Victorian audiences. It likely served as a means for the artist to refine the figure, pose, and costume of one of the attendants who would accompany the Queen of Sheba in the final painting. Such studies were common practice among artists of the time, allowing them to experiment with different elements before committing them to the larger canvas.

Poynter's work reflects the academic style of painting, with a focus on precision, draftsmanship, and a clear narrative within the artwork. "The Visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon" was inspired by the biblical account of the queen's journey to Jerusalem, as described in the First Book of Kings and the Second Book of Chronicles in the Hebrew Bible. The queen's visit to Solomon, the king of Israel, has been a subject of fascination and interpretation in various art forms, including painting, literature, and music.

As a study, this piece would have been instrumental in the development of the final composition, offering insights into Poynter's creative process and his ability to capture the opulence and grandeur of the biblical tale. The attention to detail in the attendant's attire and the careful rendering of her form demonstrate Poynter's skills as a draftsman and his dedication to historical accuracy and realism.

The painting is a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with the Orient and the biblical past, as well as the era's artistic trends that emphasized elaborate historical scenes. Sir Edward John Poynter's contributions to British art were recognized in his lifetime; he held various prestigious positions, including the presidency of the Royal Academy. His works, including the studies and final paintings, continue to be appreciated for their historical value and artistic merit.
