"Tobias en de Engel" (1581) is an etching by the Italian artist Agostino Carracci, a prominent figure of the late-Renaissance period. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Tobias and the Angel Raphael, who guides Tobias on a journey. This detailed etching, featuring delicate lines and shading, showcases the intricate detail typical of Carracci's work. The scene, likely inspired by the Book of Tobit, captures the moment of their journey, highlighting the angel’s wings and the young Tobias’s reliance on his companion. The work is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
