Tobias and the Angel
Andrea del Verrocchio, 1470-1480
Egg tempera on poplar
National Gallery, London

Tobias and the Angel is a painting, finished around 1470-1480, attributed to the workshop of the Italian Renaissance painter Andrea del Verrocchio. It is housed in the National Gallery of London.

This altar painting shows close relationship with an earlier Tobias painting by Antonio Pollaiolo.

According to Oxford art historian, Martin Kemp, Leonardo da Vinci, a member of Verrochio's studio, may have painted some part of this work, most likely the fish. If true, this would be perhaps the oldest extant example of a painting with input by Leonardo.
