Tobias en de engel bij Maria met kind en de H. Hieronymus 1822

This 1822 print by Etienne Frédéric Lignon, titled "Tobias en de engel bij Maria met kind en de H. Hieronymus" (Tobias and the Angel with Mary and Child and St. Jerome), depicts a biblical scene. The central figures are the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with St. Jerome reading a book on the right and an angel guiding Tobias on the left. This composition exemplifies the Neoclassical style prevalent during this time, characterized by its focus on clarity, balance, and the use of historical references, in this case from religious art. The print, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Lignon's artistic skill.
