One of the geese grew enormous and the goosegirl became Leda. Is she dreaming of the monstrous goose or unconscious of him? Is the goose threatening her or watching over her protectively?

This print started out as the goose girl, based on the small painting by Jean-Francois Millet. I wanted to change the goose girl's hair from Millet's peasant style to the hair of the goosegirl in Grimm's fairytale. She lets down her long hair when she thinks no-one is looking.

Then I decided to make one of the geese very large, and many people asked me if it was now Leda and the goose, so that is what I have called it.
