About this work

Tobias throws the entrails of the fish into the fire to drive the demon out of Sara. Behind him, the archangel Raphael looks on. In the background, Tobias and Sara pray at the beginning of their wedding night. To the left in the background, a man digs a grave under Raguel's direction, intended for Tobias. At the bottom in the margin, a one-line Latin caption from Tobit 8.
