Title Page for Balthasar Cordier, Iob Elvcidatvs

Cornelis Galle II after Abraham van Diepenbeeck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed engraving of several figures in a dramatic setting. In the center, a bearded, muscular man sits on a rock, raising one arm upward and looking outward. Surrounding him are several clothed figures: one to his right appears concerned, one to his left is engaged in conversation, and a woman sits on the far right. The background features dramatic clouds, light beams, and castle-like structures. In the lower portion, two cherubs hold shields, flanking an archway with a blank area.
