LEDA AND THE SWAN

This original artwork depicts the Spartan queen Leda and Zeus who has taken the form of a swan in order to seduce her. This union begets both Helen whose great beauty launched a thousand ships, and Pollux who crewed on Jason's Argo.

This was drawn using a stylus. Leda was based on a stock reference photo of a woman (one of those awful generic business stocks, she's originally wearing a business suit and holding a globe), I just "Greeked" her up a bit and for Zeus I used a reference photograph of... wait for it... a swan.

This bad boy is for me, it's A2 in size and is going up in my house somewhere once I have won enough wife points.

I hope you dig it.
