"Studies of Leda and a Horse" is a collection of sketches attributed to the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, dating from the early 16th century. These studies are believed to be preparatory works for two separate projects that occupied Leonardo during this period: a now-lost painting of Leda and the Swan, and a never-completed monumental equestrian statue. The sketches showcase Leonardo's meticulous approach to his subjects, reflecting his deep interest in both human and animal anatomy, as well as his mastery of depicting figures in complex poses.

The Leda studies are particularly notable for their exploration of the mythological narrative in which Leda, a figure from Greek mythology, is seduced by Zeus in the form of a swan. Leonardo's interpretation of this tale is known to have focused on the moment of tender interaction, emphasizing the grace and beauty of the human form intertwined with the swan's. Although the final painting is lost, these studies provide valuable insight into Leonardo's artistic process and his ability to convey narrative through posture and gesture.

Conversely, the horse studies are linked to Leonardo's ambitious but unrealized project to create a grand equestrian statue for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The sketches reveal Leonardo's exhaustive research into the horse's musculature and movement, capturing the animal's power and majesty. These drawings are considered some of the most sophisticated equine studies of the Renaissance period.

The "Studies of Leda and a Horse" are significant not only for their artistic merit but also for their contribution to the understanding of Leonardo's working methods. They exemplify his relentless pursuit of knowledge and his application of scientific observation to the creation of art. Today, these studies are held in various collections and continue to be the subject of scholarly study, offering a window into the mind of one of history's greatest artists.
