Description
Framed embroidered silk work picture of Leda & The Swan. A fine example of detailed 19th-century embroidery, where silk threads are used to create a rich, textured representation of the classic mythological scene.
The image of Leda and the Swan, a tale from Greek mythology, has been artistically portrayed, likely capturing the moment when the god Zeus, in the form of a swan, approaches Leda. The embroidery is meticulously crafted, with a variety of silk threads carefully stitched to achieve depth, shading, and intricate detail.
