What this book is about
Tracy Chevalier imagines the creation of the famous Lady and the Unicorn tapestries — commissioned in 1490s Paris and woven in Brussels — through the eyes of the painter, the weavers, and the women depicted in the work. As in Girl with a Pearl Earring, Chevalier's approach centers the people who make art on the margins of history.
