In a dark room Tobit is cured of his blindness. Mezzotint with etching by A. de Marcenay de Ghuy, 1755, after Rembrandt.

The angel informs Tobias that the liver and heart of the fish will cure demoniac possession, while the gall will cure blindness. The fish had threatened to swallow Tobias (Tobit 6.2), but the writer tells us only that it was "a large fish"
