The Book of Job: Pl. 4, And I only am escaped alone to tell thee

William Blake

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a man running to the left with outstretched arms toward a seated man and woman. The running man has long hair and a cloth wrapped around his waist. The man seated on the right has long hair and a beard, and wears a cloth that hangs loosely off one shoulder; he sits in a wooden chair. The woman sits on his lap with her hands raised. They are in front of a wall with a lamb on the ground beside them and another lamb nestled between the man and woman. Behind the running man are several buildings on the left and a stormy sky with dark clouds on the right. There are lines of text above and below the illustration, and a cloud shape above with more text. The image is in a rectangular frame with wavy lines extending to the edges.
