"Tobias Receives his Father's Blessing" is an 1860 painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. This work is one of Bouguereau's early masterpieces, showcasing his exceptional skill in rendering the human figure with lifelike precision and his penchant for religious and mythological subjects. The painting depicts a scene from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, which is recognized in the Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions. In this biblical narrative, Tobias is blessed by his blind father, Tobit, before departing on a perilous journey during which he is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, although he is unaware of the angel's true identity.

Bouguereau's composition is marked by its emotional depth and the tender interaction between the father and son, reflecting the artist's ability to convey complex human emotions. The painting is executed in Bouguereau's signature neoclassical style, characterized by its smooth brushwork, polished finish, and clarity of form. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail in the drapery and surrounding environment, contribute to the overall sense of realism and devotion in the scene.

"Tobias Receives his Father's Blessing" is an exemplar of Bouguereau's early work and his dedication to traditional themes and techniques, which would later establish him as a leading figure in the French Academy during the late 19th century. The painting is also indicative of the era's artistic trends, where historical and religious subjects were often used to convey moral messages and showcase the artist's technical prowess. Bouguereau's work remains significant in the study of 19th-century French art, and this painting, in particular, offers insight into his development as an artist and his contribution to academic painting.
