Job's Comforters

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing featuring a distressed figure surrounded by others. The central figure appears to be sitting or reclining, while those around exhibit raised hands and forlorn expressions. Above, there's an inscription that reads: "What! shall we receive Good at the hand of God & shall we not also receive Evil." Beneath the image, additional text narrates the scene further. The style is reminiscent of intricate line work and detailed, expressive characters typical of historical or religious illustrations.
