Some Highlights of Museum Bredius The Hague

Rembrandt van Rijn – Tobit and Anna with the Kid

Rembrandt’s Tobit and Anna with the Kid (1626) portrays a tense biblical moment where the blind Tobit wrongly accuses his wife Anna of theft. Painted when Rembrandt was just 20, the scene reveals his early mastery of light, emotion, and domestic realism, capturing a deeply human story of mistrust and sorrow.
