About this work
A young woman in a moss-green wimple and pale blue mantle sits with downcast eyes, holding a small white horned creature - resembling a lamb or unicorn kid - cradled against her chest. She fills the center of a dense red field patterned with stylized flowers, surrounded by numerous bullfinches perched on twigs heavy with red rowan berries; narrow side panels of medieval tapestry-style figures and horses frame the composition.
Flat, saturated red and blue-green fields are patterned with tight decorative repetition recalling millefleurs tapestry, while the woman's face and hands are modeled more softly and naturalistically. The dense ornament, muted gold accents, and tender embrace of the small creature create a quiet, wistful mood, poised between folk fable and medieval allegory.
