The Book of Job: Pl. 16, Thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked

William Blake

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a biblical scene. A central figure with a long beard sits on a cloud surrounded by angels. Below, several nude figures fall through the air, some towards a man and a woman with long hair and beards who sit on a pile of rocks. A border of flames and smoke surrounds the scene. Text surrounds the border and is written on curved lines that follow the shape of the border. A caption below reads "Thou hast fulfilled the Judgment of the Wicked".
