Leda and the Swan by Geoffrey Marchal on Sketchfab

Leda and the Swan, Rome, lst century CE copy of a Greek, original from c. 370 BCE. Marble, Nye Carlsberg Glyptotek (Copenhagen, Denmark). Made with Memento Beta (now ReMake) from AutoDesk.

Leda holds the swan against her thigh. In fact the swan is the god Zeus in disguise. One issue of this “affair” was Helen. She sprung from a swan’s egg and became the cause of the Trojan war.
