This drawing by Hendrik Krock, titled "Tyrannen Phalarus fra Agrigent indeslutter billedhuggeren Parillus i den af ham udførte, glødende broncetyr," depicts the Greek tyrant Phalaris of Agrigentum, who encloses the sculptor Parillus within a fiery bronze bull, a fate he himself had previously designed for his enemies. Krock uses dramatic detail to capture the brutality of this story. The drawing is from the 18th century and is now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
