Art of Samson and other historic or mythological figures drugging their pets.

TBH, this is an excuse to dig through art archives and find neat works of art to post that are vaguely related to the topic.

Image description: Engraving of a woman with curly hair in an updo, wearing a robe or peplos. She hold a cup in her right hand and leans down to feed a roll to a three-headed dog. The dog's left head looks downard, the middle head takes the treat, and the right head looks uneasy or wary. Behind the dog is a doorway and a fallen column.

Found at: The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Note: Image is cropped to focus on Psyche and Cerberus. Full image is available at above link.

Here's my attempt to colorize the image using Photoshop's neural filters. If folks prefer, I can do this to the uncolored images, and link to the uncolored originals.

(I don't know if the downvote is a commentary on my color choices or my idea. I like the splash of color and I think it makes the image more readable.)
