Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's *Leda and the Swan* is a humorous illustration depicting a ballerina and an older man in a formal suit. The ballerina is standing in a pose reminiscent of the famous mythological subject. The older man is holding a portion of her tutu, as if he is assisting her with her costume. The image is filled with subtle details, such as the sheet music on the right side of the drawing, which add to the wit of the artwork. This playful piece is a testament to Steinlen's talent for capturing the essence of Parisian life.
