Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Licorne »

“Unicorn” shows a white horse with a horn resting calmly on the grass beside an old brick arch, with a garden fountain playing behind it.

What the picture shows

The unicorn occupies the lower half of the canvas: a white body, a long pale mane and tail, a twisted pearly horn and a quiet sideways gaze. Behind it is a brick wall with a wide arch entirely wrapped in branches of pink and white blossom. Through the arch you can see a green lawn, a stone fountain with a basin and the tiled tower of an old building. Small yellow, white and blue flowers are scattered through the grass, and blue climbers bloom on the wall to the right. The beadwork is partial: beads cover all the flowers, the foliage, the grass and part of the brickwork, while the unicorn itself, the fountain and the view beyond stay as the printed image.
