No, this isn't an Ai-generated nightmare, but actually a colour photo of the ancient Greek princess Io of Argos, transformed into a heifer by Zeus, as performed in the second Delphic Festival in May 1930.
This macabre autochrome is by Maynard Owen Williams.
It was taken in colour and isn't colourised.

What better subject for early colour photography than the great Impressionist painter Claude Monet?
Here he is in front of his house in Giverny, France, in 1921.
I've colour-rebalanced this autochrome - which has a remarkable 3D effect to it - it is not colourised.
BabelColour @StuartHumphryes This is 1929: I've cleaned for you a wonderfully vibrant autochrome taken by Edwin Wisherd 92 years ago, of a young girl and her goat on the Caribbean island of St Thomas - one of the Virgin Islands. It is original colour ( not colourised).
