No truly poor, lower-class people are depicted here—their dress would have been far less shapely and made of coarse, undyed wool. While some of the hunters and servants of the noblemen are more simply and seemingly more practically dressed than their lords, all are seen in fitted and colorful clothing, some even in velvets and brocades. Indeed the choice of fabrics, the bright colors and garish patterns become signs here, characterizing the brutish tormentors and killers of the unicorn.
