Peisistratos beklager sig for Athenienserne over det overfald, han siger sig at have været genstand for. Han sidder på æseltrukket kærre, omgivet af talrige mennesker 1743 - 1809

Nicolai Abildgaard's "Peisistratos beklager sig for Athenienserne over det overfald, han siger sig at have været genstand for. Han sidder på æseltrukket kærre, omgivet af talrige mennesker" (1743-1809) is a pen and ink drawing depicting a scene from Greek mythology. The central figure, Peisistratos, is shown lying on a donkey-drawn cart, surrounded by a crowd of people. His outstretched arm and dramatic gesture suggest he is lamenting an attack he claims to have been subjected to. Abildgaard's use of detailed, expressive lines gives the drawing a sense of immediacy and drama. This work demonstrates the Danish artist's interest in historical subjects and his skill in conveying emotion through line and composition.
