Job's Despair

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This is a print of various people in dynamic poses. In the center, a man with raised arms and a long beard looks out at us, surrounded by three kneeling people with their heads down and their faces obscured by their hair. The background includes elements suggesting a landscape with voluminous clouds. The print is made with fine, dark lines on light paper, and takes up only a small amount of the center of the paper.
