O unicórnio é encontrado

Países Baixos do Sul

On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 17

Neste tapete, parte de uma série de sete tapetes nos Claustros, um unicórnio (animal mítico parecido com um cavalo) se ajoelha junto a uma fonte e molha seu grande chifre no riacho que passa embaixo. Pares de faisões e pintassilgos pousam na borda da fonte. Cervos e coelhos descansam na vegetação com animais selvagens, incluindo um leão. Doze caçadores e seus cães cercam os animais, planejando um ataque. Plantas como a sálvia e a laranja, que eram consideradas antídotos contra venenos, florescem perto do riacho purificado pelo chifre mágico do unicórnio. Os sete tapetes dos claustros ostentam as letras A e E entrelaçadas, talvez as iniciais dos primeiros proprietários.
