These polished sculptural works in linnen are based on several paintings that are reproductions of an Leonardo Davinci painting ”Lady & the Swan”. The original work by Leonardo is lost since the 18th century, but thanks to inspired copy’s of the original work we can still imagine how the Leonardo painting would have looked like today. It is fascinating knowing we can’t compare these copy’s to the original work by Leonardo.
