"Der Kleine Tobias" is an etching created by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goudt, who was active during the early 17th century. Goudt is renowned for his meticulous and highly detailed etchings, often characterized by their dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique he mastered under the influence of the German painter Adam Elsheimer. "Der Kleine Tobias" is one of Goudt's notable works, exemplifying his skill in capturing intricate details and emotional depth within the confines of a monochromatic medium.

The etching depicts a biblical scene from the Book of Tobit, specifically focusing on the young Tobias. In the narrative, Tobias is sent by his blind father Tobit to retrieve a sum of money from a distant relative. Accompanied by the archangel Raphael, who appears in human guise, Tobias embarks on a journey fraught with divine interventions and miraculous events. Goudt's rendering of this scene is marked by its precision and the careful interplay of light, which highlights the spiritual and mystical elements of the story.

Goudt's work is often celebrated for its ability to convey complex narratives through a single, static image. In "Der Kleine Tobias," the artist's use of chiaroscuro not only enhances the dramatic tension but also imbues the scene with a sense of divine presence and guidance. The etching stands as a testament to Goudt's technical prowess and his ability to translate the rich, narrative quality of biblical stories into the visual language of printmaking.

As with many of Goudt's works, "Der Kleine Tobias" reflects the broader artistic trends of the Baroque period, particularly the emphasis on realism, emotional intensity, and the use of light to create a sense of depth and volume. This etching remains an important piece within Goudt's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
