Created by an unknown artist, this artwork is housed in the Bibliotheque de L'Arsenal in Paris, France. The image depicts a scene filled with anthropomorphic animals and intricate botanical details. In the foreground, we see a dog diligently picking mandrake roots from the ground, while chains symbolize the connection between humans and nature.
