Ancient Oil on Canvas Tableau Biblical Scene from the 16th or 17th Century

  

Oil on canvas from the 17th century, possibly 16th century, depicting a biblical scene. Canvas element affixed to a wooden panel, possibly a popular work to create an icon? It could also be a representation of Ulysses returning to Ithaca as a beggar with a staff and an old dog. There is a great sweetness to this subject.
