Research in Progress
The old Tobias sits on a bench on the porch, his foot on a rest-warmer, a dog asleep at his feet. His wife, with knitting in her hands and lap, leans toward him. A goat, right, beyond a chateau-like building. Below, the title: "Der alte Tobias wird von Seinen Weibe Verspottet"; the artists' names and date.
