Ambiguous art

What do you see in these images?


Frogorhorse
Do you see a frog?  Or do you see a horse’s head emerging from the water?


Skull1
Do you see a skull…. or two men discussing the power of a potion?


Poison
Do you see a skull…. or a woman sitting at her dressing table in this ad for Christian Dior’s perfume Poison?


Pierots love
 This painting is called "Pierrot's Love". It was painted in 1905 and is another good example of ambiguous image. I think it is brilliant that the cuffs of the clown's costume makes the nostril holes of the skull. Again, the power of suggestion can sway your interpretation one way or the other.
