The Figure in the Carpet is the title to a 1896 short story by Henry James, telling the desperate quest of an art critic for the secret meaning to the work of renowned writer Hugh Vereker.

Like a hidden figure in the intricate lines of an ancient carpet, Vereker once tells the young critic that there is a key to the understanding of his work, a little secret which no one has ever been able to discover.
