"Tobit and the Angel" is an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Bohemian artist known for his prolific work in printmaking during the 17th century. The etching is based on the apocryphal Book of Tobit from the Old Testament, which tells the story of Tobit, a blind man, and his son Tobias. The narrative follows Tobias as he is guided by the Archangel Raphael, who is disguised as a human, to retrieve a sum of money and eventually cure his father's blindness.

Hollar's etching captures a moment from this tale, likely the journey of Tobias with the angel, showcasing his skill in rendering figures and landscapes with fine detail and delicate lines. The work is emblematic of Hollar's style, which is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to realism, even within the context of religious and mythological subjects.

Wenceslaus Hollar (1607–1677) was active in England for much of his career, and his works were widely known for their topographical and historical value. "Tobit and the Angel" not only reflects Hollar's artistic skill but also serves as an example of the religious and narrative etchings that were popular in Europe during the 17th century. The etching is part of Hollar's extensive oeuvre, which includes over 3,000 prints, and contributes to our understanding of the visual culture and artistic practices of the period.

The exact date of creation for "Tobit and the Angel" is not universally agreed upon, but it is generally attributed to the mid-17th century. The etching is held in various collections, including the British Museum, which preserves a rich assortment of Hollar's works. As with many of Hollar's prints, "Tobit and the Angel" is valued not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance as a representation of 17th-century European art and printmaking.
