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 depicts a scene with a central figure of a nude man with outstretched arms, standing over another figure lying on the ground. The standing figure has a halo-like shape around its head and appears to be emerging from a cloud or smoke. The figure on the ground is on the right, appears to have long hair, and is positioned with their head near the bottom-right corner of the image. Another figure, sitting on the left, appears to be dressed in a robe and has their head bowed. The background features a sun or moon rising or setting behind hills and buildings. The image includes text at the top and bottom. The top text is enclosed in a decorative border with illustrations of leaves and human figures. The bottom text reads, "And smote Job with sore Boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head." The entire image has a beige background with darker shading used for the illustrations.
