"19th Century Pastel - Leda And The Swan - French School "
Elegant pastel on paper depicting Leda and the swan, inspired by the classical myth in which Zeus transforms into a swan to seduce Leda. The interpretation is rendered with remarkable softness and a romantic sensibility typical of the early 19th century.
The delicate modelling of the face, the subtle palette and the oval format give this composition an intimate and refined atmosphere.
19th century gilded frame with its old protective blue paper backing.
