Satan Smiting Job with Boils

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene with three figures set against a powerful sky. The central figure stands with an expansive posture and appears to be in movement, holding drapery or sheets. To the left and right of the central figure are other figures shown in a crouched or reclining position. The background features swirling clouds and a distant horizon line, creating depth and tension. The detailed line work conveys a dynamic and expressive quality to the scene.
