This intimate work reflects the surfaces of the Unicorn Tapestries, a series of seven tapestries made in the South Netherlands around 1495–1505, and now housed in The Cloisters in New York. The tapestries depict a group of hunters in tracking a unicorn through a landscape. Working to focus on the abstract beauty of the landscape itself, this small plate painting extracts flora from the larger narrative of the original tapestries, creating a focus on the small details of the historic weaving.
