Le Toucher - Dame à La Licorne, Tapisserie Jules Pansu

This Jacquard tapestry "le toucher" is from the series of the Lady with the Unicorn. On this tapestry, the sense of touch is put forward.

Framed by the lion and the unicorn, the Lady holds the horn with one hand and the staff with the other. It is this contrast between delicacy and firmness that gives the piece its meaning. Despite this, the Lady shows a certain modesty in turning away from the animal.

The most surprising thing about this tapestry is the lack of symmetry, even if it is restored by the presence of the Lady in the centre. It is in fact the Lady who links the different planes: the unicorn in the first and the staff in the third.

The artist behind the tapestry "le toucher" shows a certain casualness by not creating any perspective. The trees are simply aligned and create a parallel with the staff.

The light is caught by the velvet dress of the Lady. The ermine lining on the side is also visible.

This reproduction is woven in Halluin stitch, which gives the tapestry a very fine quality of execution. It is woven in France. And like all the tapestries on this site, a certificate is attached to the back of the tapestry.

The tapestries of more than 130 cm are made of 74 % wool. 59% wool for the 90 x 120 cm tapestry.
