"Tobias and the Archangel Raphael Returning with the Fish" is a 17th-century painting attributed to a follower of Adam Elsheimer, a German artist known for his small and highly detailed works that often depicted biblical or mythological subjects. This painting illustrates a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, which is part of the Old Testament in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles but is not included in the Hebrew Bible or most Protestant versions.

The narrative depicted in the artwork centers on the young Tobias, who is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, disguised as a human companion. According to the story, Tobias is sent by his blind father Tobit to collect a debt, and during his journey, he is guided and protected by Raphael. The painting captures the moment when Tobias, following Raphael's instructions, catches a fish that will later be used to heal his father's blindness and to drive away a demon that has been tormenting Sarah, Tobias's future wife.

The composition of the painting is reflective of Elsheimer's influence, particularly in its use of light and shadow to create a dramatic effect, as well as its attention to landscape and detail. Elsheimer's followers often emulated his style, and this work is a testament to his enduring impact on the Baroque period. The painting is executed in oil on copper, a medium favored by Elsheimer for its smooth surface and ability to capture fine details.

While the exact identity of the "Follower of Elsheimer Adam" remains uncertain, the painting is a valuable example of the continuation of Elsheimer's artistic legacy and the transmission of his techniques to a broader circle of artists. "Tobias and the Archangel Raphael Returning with the Fish" is not only significant for its religious subject matter but also for its contribution to the understanding of artistic influence and apprenticeship during the early 17th century.
