Job and His Daughters

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

The image is a detailed, monochromatic etching showing the upper bodies of three figures seated on a semi-circular bench. The central figure has a long beard and flowing hair. His arms are outstretched, and his face exhibits a calm expression. He is flanked by two figures, one on each side, positioned slightly behind and to his right and left. These figures have softer features and shoulder-length hair. All figures are adorned in flowing drapery. The background is intricately detailed with circular motifs and a swirling pattern.
