The story of Anna, her husband Tobit and their son Tobias is told in the apocryphal Book of Tobit. God tested them by reducing them to poverty and causing Tobit's blindness. In the 17th century they were considered to be examples of piety in adversity.

This story expands upon the themes in the canvas, bringing them to life and creating a tale to surround the moment of time that the painting captures.
