The Book of Job: Pl. 6, And smote Job with sore Boils / from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head

The image is a black and white illustration. A central rectangular panel contains a scene depicting three people. A shirtless man with a halo stands over a shirtless, bearded man lying down. The standing man has his arms outstretched. A woman sits next to the lying man on the left. The lying man appears to have sores all over his body. A city or town is in the background with a sun rising over a horizon. The scene is framed by a decorative border with text at the top and bottom. The top text reads, "Naked came I out of my mothers womb & Naked shall I return thither. The Lord gave & the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord." The bottom text reads, "And smote Job with sore Boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head." There are decorative elements on the border, including stars and plants. In the bottom-left corner, a small box contains the letters "WBlake inv & del." In the bottom-right corner, the word "Proof" appears.
