| Raphael's Lady with a Unicorn is a portrait of a real person with a mythological animal, and there are a lot of different interpretations for this picture – from Christian (unicorn as a symbol of Christ) to erotic interpretations (unicorn as a male erotic symbol and crying eye as a symbol of ejaculation).
A composition of the painting is almost identical with Mona Lisa. If we compare Raphael’s portrait and the sitter on the painting they look very similar!?
