( x cm) (plate), Etching and engraving, Netherlands, 17th century, The tiny figures of Raphael and Tobias heighten the enormity of the landscape as well as the challenge of their journey. The rugged terrain would also conjure a sense of distant lands for viewers accustomed to the flat Dutch countryside.
