Tobit and Anna with the Kid 1626
by Rembrandt
Tobit’s blindness has condemned him and his wife to a life of grinding poverty: his once expensive tabard is
torn and tattered. When Anna comes home with a kid, a reward for her hard work, Tobit thinks she has stolen
it. In desperation, he prays God to grant him a quick death. Anna looks on in bewilderment.
