About the Item

Leda and Swan This captivating work depicts a mythological scene in which a nude woman lies on a beach, entwined with a majestic swan. The color palette, dominated by gray and beige tones, lends a dreamy, timeless atmosphere to the composition. The contrast between the softness of the swan's feathers and the woman's skin creates a striking visual harmony. The background, with a cloudy sky and dark sea, adds a melancholy depth to the whole. The rapid, expressive brushstrokes testify to a confident technique, capturing the movement and tension in this mystical interaction. The bold, symbolic depiction of the myth of Leda and the swan in this painting invites the viewer to question the themes of beauty and transformation. 51 x 60 x 1.5 cm
