Leda and the swan is a story in art from Greek mythology in which the god Zeus, in the form of a swan, ravishes Leda. In his painting Leda rests comfortably with the swan as its head snakes towards hers. Leda's body gesture indicates an openness to the swans advances. The heavenly backdrop indicates an otherworldly encounter where the two are completely alone.
