Image Title: Duty of Angels

Scripture Reference:

• Tobit (further images / scripture text)
• Matthew 18 (further images / scripture text)

Description: An angel stands in the center of the image, in front of a depiction of Jesus delivering the sermon on the mount, above which God sits surrounded by angels. Four scenes from Tobit surround the central angel. Counter-clockwise from right they are: Tobit burying the dead, killing a fish, meeting an angel along the road, and praying. The Latin superscription reads, "The threefold protective duty of angels" and the text below, "How many other winged guards stand by to help us? Urged on by God, and our prayers, a patron watches".
