This print showcases the iconic artwork "Leda and the Swan" by Francois-Anne David. Created in 1787, this copperplate engraving depicts the mythological tale of Leda, an Aetolian princess who was seduced by Zeus in the form of a swan. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship of David's work are evident in every line and curve. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as Leda stands before a magnificent statue of herself. The delicate pose and expression on her face reveal both vulnerability and curiosity as she gazes at the swan beside her. The graceful curves of their bodies create a sense of movement within the stillness. This piece is not only a tribute to classical art but also an exploration of Greek mythology.
