The Study of Leda's Head was part of da Vinci's work on the mythological tale of Leda and the Swan, a theme he explored around 1504–1508. The sketch highlights his meticulous attention to detail, particularly in Leda's complex braided hairstyle. This was one of several preliminary studies for a now lost painting depicting Leda, Queen of Sparta, being seduced by Jupiter in the form of a swan – a popular mythological subject in the Renaissance.

This work of art is a true legacy of art history, providing an insight into da Vinci's mastery and his interpretation of classical mythology.
