Dim interior painting of an old man seated by a glowing hearth and a woman spinning by a window with a caged bird.

Tobit and Anna

A dim interior shows an elderly man seated in a chair beside a fireplace, his hands clasped in his lap, while a woman in a white cap sits by a window at a spinning wheel. Warm firelight and a caged bird contrast with the shadowed room, and the scene is painted in loose, dark brushwork.
