Leda and the Swan (Leonardo)
Lost paintings by Leonardo da Vinci / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The story of Leda and the Swan was the subject of two compositions by Leonardo da Vinci from perhaps 1503–1510. Neither survive as paintings by Leonardo, but there are a number of drawings for both by him, and copies in oils, especially of the second composition, where Leda stands.
