Antique print titled 'Les Enfans de Niobé Tués (..)'. This print depicts Apollo and Diana killing Niobe's Children with their arrows. In Greek mythology Niobe was a daughter of Tantalus and the sister of Pelops. Niobe boasted of her superiority to Leto because the goddess only had two children, the twins Apollo and Artemis / Diana, while Niobe had fourteen children (the Niobids), seven male and seven female and was punished. This print originates from 'Tafereel, of Beschryving van den prachtigen Tempel der Zang-Godinnen' by B. Picart.
