Description
Pen and ink, ink wash, watercolor. A drawing of a Mandrake, a plant that, according to ancient beliefs and legends, has such a horrible scream that the cry would kill the person uprooting it. For that reason, one was to uproot it using a rope from a distance, or as Josephus recommended almost 2000 years ago, tie a rope around it and have a dog pull it out.
