J.-C., qui fut condamné injustement à s'empoisonner. Interdit de sépulture dans la cité, son corps fut emporté hors d'Athènes et brûlé sur un bûcher, thème de la composition.
Ce tableau est conservé au national museum de Cardiff .
Médaille sculptée par Allan Grow.
Théoriquement, le poinçon crabe est censé indiquer un titrage à 800 millièmes.
