Fragment de "Dame au Miroir" bordée

In this tapestry with Maidens with a Unicorn, the cited Maiden is presenting a mirror to the Unicorn, who has placed his forefeet upon her. This scene represents one of the five senses : sight.

The Unicorn, this mythological animal, symbol of purity, was so wild and so swift that no one could capture him. Only an innocent and virginal girl could approach him.
