The Angel Departing from the Family of Tobias

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of multiple figures gathered in contemplation or reverence. The central figure appears to be bowing or kneeling, possibly in prayer, among others who look on or surround this figure. There are elements of lighting and flowing fabrics, contributing to a sense of movement and focus. A figure is seen elevated towards the upper right. The drawing is detailed with line work typical of an etching style.
