About this work
In a vast hilly landscape with trees and houses, Tobias catches the fish in the river Tigris, which he will cut open on the advice of the archangel Raphael and keep the heart, liver and gall to later cure Tobit and drive away evil spirits. In the foreground left, Tobias and the angel sit as small figures on the left bank of the river while Tobias catches the fish. In the right foreground, on the right bank, they continue their way in the company of the dog.
