Vignette of Tobias and the Angel n.d.

This anonymous etching, "Vignette of Tobias and the Angel," depicts a scene from the biblical story of Tobias and the angel Raphael. The image shows Tobias, guided by the angel, walking through a landscape with a small village in the distance. The drawing features a decorative frame adorned with intricate flora and fauna, a hallmark of 17th and 18th century European printmaking. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this small but detailed artwork, likely created as an illustration for a book or devotional pamphlet.
