About this work

This drawing shows a woman asleep under a tree with long, tangled roots. Next to her, a giant hand with fingers like branches reaches out. The hand is labeled "Frankenstein," and the woman’s head is marked as a "wine glass." The scene feels dreamlike and a little strange. The artist added handwritten notes to explain the weird details. The woman’s head is shaped like a wine glass, which makes you look twice. Want to see more by the artist who made this? Check out Niki de Saint Phalle.
