Job and His Family

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

The illustration features a group of figures, with the entirety of their upper bodies and most of their lower bodies shown. The central figure, an older man with a long beard, stands in the middle, flanked by eight younger people on each side. The figures are posed upright, some with hands clasped in front of them. The older man has long, flowing hair, while the others have shorter, neatly styled hair. They wear simple, flowing robes. Rows of sheep surround them, with a large tree in the background holding musical instruments. Tent-like structures and a crescent moon are visible in the landscape against a hilly terrain. The sky is bright. The image is bordered by text featuring scriptural elements.
