Job Rebuked by His Friends

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

The image is an old illustration of a group of individuals. Four men are shown from the waist up. The central figure is sitting and has a long flowing beard, with his gaze directed upward. His hair is long and disheveled. Beside him are three other men gesturing or reaching towards him. One man has a hunched posture, with his head resting on one arm. The men have long beards and hair, and are engaged in conversation. They wear flowing robes. In the background is a simple mountainous landscape. The illustration is on aged paper in a bare setting.
