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 "Touch".

The lady stands with one hand touching the unicorn's horn, and the other holding up the pennant. The lion sits to the side and looks on.

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: 138 cm * 90 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.
