萨福画像是庞贝的罗马壁画，现存放在那不勒斯考古博物馆。它描绘了一个女孩的半身像，左手拿着四块蜡染的纸薄，右手拿着一根手写笔，一边若有所思地半闭着嘴唇，仿佛她在写作前思考。她的脸很平静，眼睛棕色，很大，头发被一张金色的网托住，柔软的卷发从网上垂到前额和两侧。希腊著名诗人萨福的归属是虚构的，因为这幅画不是一幅个人画像，而是一幅普通画像，旨在强调展示它的家庭是一个受过教育和富有的家庭。
The Portrait of Sappho is a Roman parietal fresco from Pompei now housed at the Archaeological Museum of Naples. It depicts the bust of a girl with four waxed tablets in her left hand and a stylus in her right, while she half-close her lips in a thoughtful way, as if she was thinking before writing. Her face is serene, her eyes are brown and large, her hair is held by a golden net from which soft curls fall on the forehead and on the sides. The attribution to the famous Greek poet Sappho is fictional as the picture is not a personal portrait but a generic portrait intended to emphasize the family who exhibited it as an educated and wealthy one.
