This etching, "Plate 7 from Pietro Paulo Bissari, Antiopa", by German artist Mathäus Küsel, dates to 1662 and is part of a larger series depicting the story of Antiopa, a figure from Greek mythology. The scene depicts a grand procession, with figures on horseback, foot, and in a luxurious chariot, moving across the landscape. The work is executed in a detailed and meticulous style, capturing the intricate details of the costumes and the grandeur of the event, a hallmark of Küsel's artistic approach. It is now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
