The Lady and the Unicorn (modern title) are a set of six tapestries each with a slightly different image to depict different aspects of human senses. The six tapestries are titled, Taste, Hearing, Sight, Smell, Touch, À Mon Seul Désir (perhaps desire). You may wish to read more here.
Our tapestry is based on the one titled "Smell".
The lady stands, making a wreath of flowers. Her maidservant holds a basket of flowers within her easy reach. The lion and unicorn frame the lady while holding on to the pennants. The monkey has stolen a flower which he is smelling, providing the key to the allegory.
It is not an exact colour match but it is a true representation of the original image. The red in these images is enhanced with flash photography and the actual product is a deeper, darker red.
Size: 140 cm * 104 cm
The tapestries are thick and feel luxurious.
The back of each tapestry is lined with black material and is fitted with a material loop sleeve along the top for easy hanging.
