Job and His Family

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a biblical scene showing Job with his family and livestock under a large tree. Animals, likely sheep, are in the foreground, and the figures are engaged in conversation. The backdrop includes clouds and a crescent moon. Inscriptions above the image read "Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy Name" and below read "Thus did Job continually." Additional text provides context about Job, mentioning the land of Uz and characteristics of righteousness and fear of God. The style is meticulous and detailed, resembling religious manuscripts.
