"Tobias With The Angel Dragging The Fish (holl.2)" is a notable engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goudt, created in the early 17th century. Goudt, who was born in 1583 and died in 1648, is renowned for his detailed and expressive engravings, many of which were inspired by the works of his mentor, Adam Elsheimer. This particular engraving is based on a biblical story from the Book of Tobit, which is part of the Apocrypha in the Christian Old Testament.

The engraving depicts the moment when Tobias, guided by the archangel Raphael, catches a large fish in the Tigris River. According to the narrative, the fish plays a crucial role in the story, as its gall, heart, and liver are used to cure Tobias's father's blindness and to exorcise a demon from his future wife, Sarah. Goudt's interpretation of this scene is marked by his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the dramatic tension of the moment.

In "Tobias With The Angel Dragging The Fish," Goudt employs a rich interplay of light and shadow, a technique he mastered under Elsheimer's influence. The composition is carefully balanced, with the angel and Tobias positioned prominently in the foreground, while the fish, almost as large as Tobias himself, adds a dynamic element to the scene. The background features a serene landscape, providing a stark contrast to the intense action in the foreground.

Goudt's engraving is celebrated for its technical precision and emotional depth, capturing the essence of the biblical story with a sense of realism and spirituality. It stands as a testament to Goudt's skill as an engraver and his ability to translate complex narratives into compelling visual art. This work is part of a series of engravings by Goudt that illustrate scenes from the Book of Tobit, each showcasing his unique artistic vision and mastery of the engraving medium.
