A Wikipedia article on Solomon, recording the biblical account of the Queen of Sheba, who heard of Solomon's fame and visited him bearing gifts of gold, spices and precious stones, receiving in turn all she desired of him. The article notes the episode became the subject of extensive legendary expansion and remained a recurring subject in art, naming Edward Poynter's 1890 painting of the visit as one example.
