This puzzle features a detail from the famous tapestry on display at the Cluny Museum of the Middle Ages, *The Lady and the Unicorn*.
*The Lady and the Unicorn* Tapestry-*À mon seul désir* (detail), c. 1500-Wool and silk tapestry / 377 x 473 cm
The "sixth sense" remaining, explained solely by the inscription "À mon seul désir," has inspired countless theories. Without ruling out a possible meaning in the context of courtly love, it could be a reference to free will: the woman, with her decorative headdress and refined garments, renouncing worldly pleasures.
"To my sole desire." This famous phrase concludes the series of equally famous tapestries of the Lady and the Unicorn. It resonates like a romantic echo, drifting across the five centuries that separate us from the anonymous hands that patiently wove these threads, which we have never ceased to admire.
