"Head of Leda 2" is a presumed lost artwork attributed to the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, dating from around 1505-1507. This piece is thought to have been a preparatory study for an unfinished painting, "Leda and the Swan," which itself was based on the myth from Greek mythology where Zeus, in the form of a swan, seduces or rapes Leda, resulting in the birth of Helen of Troy and other children. Leonardo's fascination with the story of Leda was part of a broader Renaissance interest in classical themes, mythology, and the human form, blending artistic exploration with scientific inquiry.

While the original "Head of Leda 2" is lost, its existence is known through copies and sketches made by Leonardo's contemporaries and followers. These copies suggest that Leonardo's depiction was delicate and innovative, focusing on the intricate details of Leda's head, possibly capturing her emotional response to her encounter with Zeus. The work is believed to have showcased Leonardo's masterful skill in rendering human emotions and his understanding of anatomy, both of which were groundbreaking at the time.

Leonardo's studies for "Leda and the Swan" were widely recognized for their detailed anatomical accuracy and the dynamic poses he envisioned, which were part of his larger investigations into human and animal anatomy, movement, and expression. Although the original artworks have not survived, they have had a lasting impact on the art world, influencing generations of artists and being studied for their technical brilliance and historical significance.

The loss of "Head of Leda 2" and the larger "Leda and the Swan" composition reflects the broader issue of art preservation and the fragility of historical artifacts. Despite this, Leonardo da Vinci's work continues to be celebrated for its innovation, depth, and enduring beauty, with existing copies and sketches providing valuable insights into his artistic process and the themes that fascinated him.
