"The Visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon" is a historical illustration by Sir Edward John Poynter, a prominent British painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This artwork was created as part of a series for "Hutchinson's History of the Nations," a comprehensive compilation of world history published in the early 1900s. Poynter, who served as the President of the Royal Academy of Arts and was known for his classical approach to art, often drew inspiration from biblical and mythological subjects.

The illustration depicts the well-known biblical event described in the Books of Kings and Chronicles, where the Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon in Jerusalem, bringing a grand entourage and gifts to test Solomon's wisdom and to discuss affairs of state and philosophy. Poynter's work captures the grandeur and opulence of the scene, with a focus on the exchange between two of the most powerful and wise rulers of the ancient world.

Poynter's attention to detail and his ability to convey the richness of the event are evident in the intricate clothing, the architectural elements, and the overall composition of the piece. His work not only serves as an artistic interpretation of a historical event but also reflects the interests and aesthetics of the Edwardian era in which he lived.

The illustration is a testament to Poynter's skill in historical and genre painting, and it contributes to the visual culture that surrounds the legendary encounter between the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. As a piece of historical illustration, it offers insight into the ways in which artists of the period engaged with and presented the past to contemporary audiences.
