Leda and the Swan

Leda stands on the left holding a swan by the neck with her left hand. The swan's beak hovers near Leda's mouth. Its wings stretch out behind it to the right of the fresco.

Leda and the Swan, fresco from Pompeii (1st c. AD), displayed in the 'Secret Room' at the Naples Archaeological Museum.
