The Unicorns is an 1880s oil-on-canvas painting by Gustave Moreau, now in the Musée national Gustave Moreau.[1]

It is freely inspired by The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries in the musée de Cluny[2] Moreau spoke of the painting and its subject as "an enchanted island with a gathering of women, solely of women giving the most precious pretext for all patterns of plastic art".[2]
