About this work

The Archangel Raphael takes leave of Tobias and Tobit. The men are surrounded by vases and chests of coins; gifts that Tobias and Tobit offered their traveling companion as a sign of gratitude. On the right in the background, the angel disappears into the sky. A four-line Latin text in the lower margin. Reconstructed from two fragments.
