"Tobias With The Angel Dragging The Fish (holl.2)" is an exquisite 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 masterful engravings and his significant contributions to the art of printmaking during the Dutch Golden Age. This particular work is one of his most celebrated pieces, showcasing his exceptional skill in rendering intricate details and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow.

The engraving depicts a scene from the biblical Book of Tobit, wherein the young Tobias is guided by the Archangel Raphael. In this narrative, Tobias is sent by his blind father Tobit to retrieve a sum of money. During his journey, he is accompanied by Raphael, who appears in human form. The scene captured by Goudt shows Tobias dragging a large fish, which he has caught in the Tigris River under Raphael's guidance. This fish later plays a crucial role in the story, as its gall, heart, and liver are used for medicinal purposes to cure Tobit's blindness and to exorcise a demon from Tobias's future wife, Sarah.

Goudt's engraving is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro. This method enhances the emotional intensity of the scene, highlighting the divine guidance of Raphael and the innocence and determination of Tobias. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures of Tobias and the angel dominating the foreground, while the landscape in the background provides a serene and expansive setting.

"Tobias With The Angel Dragging The Fish" reflects Goudt's deep understanding of human anatomy, his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art, and his mastery of engraving techniques. This work not only exemplifies Goudt's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to the rich tradition of biblical storytelling in art. It remains a significant piece in the study of Dutch printmaking and continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and evocative storytelling.
