Let $K$ be a field of characteristic different from 2 and let $C$ be an octonion algebra over $K$. We show that there is a seven-dimensional subspace of $7\times 7$ skew-symmetric matrices over $K$ which is invariant under the automorphism group of $C$. This subspace consists of elements of rank 6 when $C$ is a division algebra, and elements of rank 4 and 6 when $C$ is a split algebra. In the latter case, the automorphism group is the exceptional group $G_2(K)$.
