This print shows three figures by a pond. A woman in a draped robe stands behind a naked woman kneeling in the water, who holds a cloth. A child also naked sits in the pond, playing with a swan. The background has trees and a flying bird, all in dark tones with soft shading. The title *Leda Bathing* hints this scene comes from a myth. The swan and the pond suggest a story about transformation. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
