"Vignet med kvinde, siddende ung mand og enhjøring," is a small etching by Gerhard Ludvig Lahde (1765–1833) dating from between 1765 and 1833. The artwork depicts a woman and a young man in a vignette style, a popular decorative motif in art, often used to frame portraits and scenes. The woman is standing and placing her hand on the young man's shoulder, who is seated on a pedestal and holding a shield and a branch. A unicorn and a winged griffin are standing on the ground, flanking the seated man. The drawing's simple lines and details suggest Lahde's focus on capturing a symbolic gesture rather than rendering a detailed scene. It is currently held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
