Единорог найден

1495–1505
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 17
На этом гобелене, одном из семи гобеленов Клойстерса, посвященных легендарному Единорогу, мифическое лошадиноподобное животное коленопреклонено перед фонтаном и опускает свой длинный изогнутый рог в струящийся поток. Пары фазанов и золотых зябликов уселись на краю фонтана. Олень и кролики отдыхают в растительности рядом с дикими животными, из которых особенно выразителен лев. Двенадцать охотников и их собаки окружают животных, планируя нападение. Растения, считавшиеся противоядием, такие как шалфей и апельсин, цветут у источника, очищаемого магическим рогом единорога. На каждом из семи гобеленов музея Клойстерс вывязаны соединенные в вензель буквы А и Е — вероятно, инициалы неизвестной пары, первых владельцев гобеленов.
