This is a melamine print reproduction of "Taste" from "The Lady and the Unicorn" series. "The Lady and the Unicorn" is a series of six tapestries housed in the Musée de Cluny. Designed in Paris and woven in Flanders at the end of the 15th century, these tapestries were discovered in the 19th century and became famous when praised by George Sand. Five of the six tapestries, depicting a lady, a unicorn, and a lion, allegorically represent "Sight," "Hearing," "Taste," "Smell," and "Touch." The final tapestry is titled "My Only Desire." This is "Taste," the second piece in the series. The lady is shown taking a sweet from a servant's dish, perhaps feeding a bird perched on her left hand. If you look closely, a monkey at her feet is also munching on red berries. This is an old item purchased at the MET's museum shop when I visited the "Unicorn Tapestries" at The Cloisters collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States many years ago. I displayed it for a long time, but it hasn't been used for the past several years. It's a glossy print and is in very beautiful condition with no fading of colors. The easel structure on the back has deteriorated and is unusable, so I am including a used antique-style easel. Please let me know if you do not need the easel.
