"Cuchulain Slays the Hound of Culain", illustration by Stephen Reid from Eleanor Hull's The Boys' Cuchulain, published in 1904. Source: Wikipedia The scene is at night. In the center foreground, a very large tan dog with long floppy ears and a square head lies on the ground dead. Behind the dog's carcass, Cuchulain stands. His left foot rests on the dog's shoulder, Cuculain's weight on the right foot. Cuchulain wears a brown tunic belted at the waist. On his feet are leather laced boots over white mid-calf stockings. He wears a light blue cape over his shoulders. In his right hand is a spear. The spear's point rests by the dog's nose. In the backrgound, stands the stone wall of a castle with one narrow, slotted window. In the doorway stand the king and two princes, each wearing a thin gold band around their heads, and each dressed in tunics reaching mid-calf. Behind them can be seen the tongues of flame from torches lighting the castle.
