The Book of Job: Pl. 2, When the Almighty was yet with me, When my Children / were about me

William Blake

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white illustration of a biblical scene. The image has an ornate border with curved lines and shapes on either side. Inside the border is a large rectangle with a drawing of a bearded man sitting on a throne-like chair at the top of a mountain. The man has long hair and a long beard and is surrounded by a halo. There are several nude figures around and below him. At the bottom of the rectangle, a group of people are gathered. Some are standing and some are sitting, and they appear to be clothed. The text at the top of the image reads "Ancient of Days" and other words. The text at the bottom of the image reads "When the Almighty was yet with me, When my Children were about me." The background of the image is off-white.
