A beautiful and extremely high quality Italian 19th century white Carrara marble statue of Leda and the swan. The statue is raised by a square base with a superb ground like design with a most decorative rock formation leading up the back with charming blooming flowers and lovely foliate designs. The statue depicts the beautiful Leda with her hair tied in a headband and draped in a wonderfully executed flowing garment.
