Tobias en de vis 1641 - 1645

"Tobias en de vis" is a drawing by Philips Koninck dating from 1641-1645. It portrays the biblical scene of Tobias, a young man, catching a fish with the help of an angel. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger painting, using pen and ink to depict a detailed landscape, including the angel's wings and the fish. The composition and details of the scene are likely inspired by Rembrandt's work. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Koninck's artistic process and provides a visual connection to the biblical narrative.
