Tobias and the Angel (The Little Tobias)

Hendrik Goudt after Adam Elsheimer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures, one with wings, crossing a stream on smooth stones. A small dog follows them. In the background, dense trees obscure the horizon, birds fly in the sky, and clouds stretch horizontally. The artwork features intricate details in the trees and clouds, using a monochromatic palette of black, white, and gray. The emphasis is on textures in the trees, sky, and water reflections. Further back, a person guides cattle across the water.
