Description

On the shores of a lake with her back to the viewer stands Leda, who turns her head to the left. She steps on a cloth spread on the ground, with her right hand she rests on the tree on the right, while with her left she holds a cloth and sweeps her right leg, which she brings diagonally in front of the left. A flower is growing in the lower left corner of the show. In the background is depicted a lake with a swan and further back trees with dense foliage. An ivy is wrapped around the trunk of the tree on the right, the leaves of which fill the upper part of the composition.
