"Tobias with the Angel Dragging the Fish" is a notable engraving by Hendrick Goudt, a Dutch Golden Age artist renowned for his detailed and delicate engravings. Created in 1613, this work is part of a series of engravings that Goudt produced after paintings by Adam Elsheimer, a German artist with whom Goudt had a close professional relationship during his stay in Rome. The engraving, measuring approximately 28.5 x 20.7 cm, is based on the biblical story of Tobias and the Angel, derived from the Book of Tobit in the Old Testament.

The narrative depicted in the engraving is a pivotal moment from the Book of Tobit, where the young Tobias, accompanied by the Archangel Raphael (disguised as a human), catches a fish in the Tigris River. Raphael instructs Tobias to extract the heart, liver, and gall bladder from the fish, components that later play crucial roles in curing Tobias's father's blindness and driving away a demon. Goudt's work captures this moment with exquisite detail, showcasing his mastery in translating the luminosity and complexity of Elsheimer's original painting into the monochromatic medium of engraving.

Hendrick Goudt's "Tobias with the Angel Dragging the Fish" is celebrated for its intricate detail, composition, and the way it conveys the story's moral and spiritual dimensions. The work is a testament to Goudt's skill in engraving and his ability to preserve and propagate Elsheimer's artistic vision, contributing significantly to the latter's posthumous fame. Today, the engraving is not only a valuable piece for studying the artistic exchanges and influences within the European art scene of the early 17th century but also serves as a remarkable example of storytelling through the visual arts, embodying themes of guidance, healing, and divine intervention.
