About this work
Description
The bearded man receives treatment from a figure wearing a short tunic; a companion wearing a similar tunic and a turban appears to reach out with one arm; two women appear to bow and kneel in prayer to the right; to the left, two figtures liaise at the door of a house. Possibly a depiction from the Book of Tobit in the Old Testament, in which, instructed by the archangel Raphael, Tobias heals his father Tobit's blindness by rubbing his eyes with fish gall.
