The Wrath of Elihu

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of figures seated under a starry sky. The central illustration features several figures in expressive poses, surrounded by a sky filled with stars. One figure stands and gestures with one arm raised, while others sit on the ground, wrapped in robes and displaying various emotional expressions. The scene is framed with line work that includes text excerpts, forming decorative borders. The arrangement of text and imagery implies narrative or symbolic elements with phrases related to existential and spiritual themes. The style shows influences typical of visionary art.
