Satan Smiting Job with Boils

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration of a scene featuring muscular figures and swirling elements. The central scene shows a figure emerging from behind a curtain, overseeing two other figures who are on the ground. The image is framed by scroll-like designs with text around it. At the bottom, the text reads, "And smote Job with sore Boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head." The composition includes detailed line work expressing movement and emotion, typical of illuminated or engraved texts.
