Español: El arcángel abandona a Tobías y su familia

Un ángel alado con paños blancos asciende por un cielo oscuro y nublado sobre un hombre arrodillado y una familia sentada cerca de un arco de piedra. La luz cálida ilumina a las figuras, y un perro descansa al pie del banco junto a las mujeres y un joven.

Português: O arcanjo deixa Tobias e sua família

Um anjo alado de vestes brancas sobe por um céu escuro e nublado acima de um homem ajoelhado e de uma família sentada perto de um arco de pedra. A luz quente incide sobre as figuras, e um cão deita-se ao pé do banco junto às mulheres e a um jovem.
