In Phantasmagoria video game you can find an artwork (most probably a tapestry) that looks like real piece of art and not something made for the game.

I've done some research, but I wasn't able to find any information regarding it.

Would someone be able to identify it?

Unfortunately it's the best quality I could get.

    Does the game give any hints about location or time period?

    @SteveBird The game events take place in a 19th-century mansion in New England. I don't think there is any information provided regarding the artwork itself.

Google image search brings this up pretty easily. (Image recognition technology is amazing these days.) It is The Abduction of Orithyia by Boreas, a late 17th century tapestry.

The Abduction of Orithyia by Boreas,

I gather it's currently in storage at a San Francisco museum rather than at a New England mansion.

    Google image search brings this up pretty easily. . Did you search with this screenshot directly or did you crop the artwork and transform/stretch it back to a rectangular shape?

    I literally just threw the stack overflow image URL (i.sstatic.net/LDflB.png) into the search bar. I honestly didn't expect that to work. Amusingly, google image search now points to this question/answer. :-P

    I'm mildly disappointed to learn it's not currently hanging in Roberta William's sitting room.
