The Book of Job: Pl. 15, Behold now Behemoth which I made with thee

William Blake

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration on aged paper. A border frames the image, with text in a decorative font. A large central panel depicts a man with long hair and a beard with angels on either side, overlooking a large beast with a scaly body and a long snout. Below, a circular panel shows the beast from a different angle, with a fish-like body and sharp teeth. Text surrounds the central images. At the bottom, "Behold now Behemoth which I made with thee".
