Job, 2nd plate

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person sitting down, leaning forward with legs slightly bent. The person has thinning, medium-length hair and a long beard covering their face, which is turned slightly downward. They wear a simple garment, possibly a robe, that covers the upper body but leaves the legs bare. The background shows a rocky or earthen surface, suggesting the person is seated against a stone or in a natural setting. There is no visible jewelry, and the person does not hold anything in their hands. The scene is rendered in a monochrome style, focusing on texture and line work.
