"Huwelijk van Tobias en Sara" (Marriage of Tobias and Sarah) is a 1543 engraving by German artist Georg Pencz. The print depicts the moment when Tobias, guided by the archangel Raphael, marries Sarah. The composition is dynamic, with the figures arranged in a circle around a central table. Raphael, with his feathered wings, stands at the left, watching over the couple. Tobias and Sarah are joined by their respective fathers, who hold hands as a sign of the union. The scene takes place in a grand, architectural setting with detailed engraving that reveals Pencz's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the solemnity of the occasion. The artwork is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
