Black and white etching depicting a scene of the martyrdom of St. Matthias. The scene shows a domed building with columns. In the foreground, several people are present; one on the right appears to be wearing armor and a helmet-like hat, another on the right appears to hold a spear, and two on the left appear to throw rocks. The central figure, presumably St. Matthias, falls to the ground with arms outstretched. The background shows an altar with a crucifix on the wall behind it. An angel with a spear appears to descend from a cloud in the sky. The bottom of the etching reads "M.B. Mathias Appos."
