"The Enchanted Fountain of Love's Truth (La Fontaine Enchantée de la Verité d'Amour)" is an etching by French artist Augustin de Saint-Aubin. Created between 1778 and 1788, the print depicts a fantastical scene with a unicorn, a lion, and a group of people gathered around a spring. The image's detailed composition, with numerous figures arranged across the landscape, suggests a narrative, possibly from a literary source. The work is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
