Tobit and Anna with the Goat
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and brown ink on paper drawing by the renowned Dutch artist, Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, dating back to the 17th century. This masterpiece, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, depicts a biblical scene from the Book of Tobit. The drawing portrays the Old Testament characters Tobit and Anna in an intimate moment, as they prepare to sacrifice a goat to ask God for mercy and protection. Tobit, with a serious expression, holds a knife, ready to make the sacrifice, while Anna, with a gentle and compassionate gaze, cradles the goat. The goat, with its curious and somewhat anxious expression, seems aware of the significance of the moment. This drawing is a testament to Rembrandt's exceptional skill in capturing the human condition and the emotional depth of a scene. The use of monochrome, with its subtle shading and contrast, adds to the drawing's sense of drama and intensity. The intricate details in the characters' faces and clothing, as well as the textured representation of the goat's fur, demonstrate Rembrandt's mastery of the pen and ink medium. "Tobit and Anna with the Goat" is a valuable addition to the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Sweden and a significant work of art from the Dutch Golden Age. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Europe and the enduring influence of religious art on the history of Western art. This drawing continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and the universal themes of faith, love, and sacrifice.
