editcopy of Tobias and the Angel?
editI don't really understand the terminology used in art, but I would like to ask about this picture called a 'copy of the large tobias and the Angel'. In an 'Independent' article on a different, better, version of this subject in a german museum,it says he didn't paint large, he used a magnifying glass as he painted, also it isnt a very exact copy, so what qualifies as a copy, the painting discussed in the article [1], is really quite different, wouldn't it be better called - version 2 or something?

- It says "Copy after the large Tobias and the Angel", which is now lost. Yours is the small Tobias and the Angel, with a different composition. Neither are very big, but the large one is 27 wide in the Copenhagen copy & 28 in the London one vs 19 for the small Frankfurt one. The names are from the sources.
