Tobit and Anna with the Kid

Two figures occupy a dim interior: an elderly man with a long white beard sits on the left, his hands raised in a gesture of appeal, while an older woman in a striped headscarf leans toward him on the right, with a small dog at her feet. Rembrandt uses a warm, earthy palette—pink and orange for the man’s robe, cream and beige for the woman’s garments, and deep browns for the shadows—illuminated by light from the left that models faces and hands with strong chiaroscuro. The composition forms a loose triangle, with the figures and domestic setting arranged to emphasize intimate, psychological interaction typical of Rembrandt’s Dutch Baroque genre scenes.
