Description:

The painting depicts a woman, presumably Leda from Greek mythology, standing nude in a landscape. She is surrounded by four children, who are emerging from large eggs. Two of the children are embracing her, while the other two are in the foreground, one looking up at her and the other reaching out. The woman has a serene expression and her gaze is directed slightly downwards. The landscape behind her features a body of water, distant mountains, and a city or settlement. To the right, there is a tree with detailed foliage. The children emerging from the eggs are likely representative of Helen and Clytemnestra (who hatched from one egg) and Castor and Pollux (who hatched from another) after Leda's encounter with Zeus in the form of a swan (though the swan is not explicitly depicted in this particular image). The overall tone of the painting is classical and mythological.
