Engraving of a crowd of robed figures under a crescent moon, with cattle and sheep at the lower edge, by William Blake.

Job and His Family Restored to Prosperity

A fine-lined engraving shows a crowd of draped figures gathered in a wooded landscape under a crescent moon, with cattle and sheep crowding the lower edge of the scene. Tall staffs rise among the figures, and a central pair stands close together, rendered in dense hatching and crisp contour lines on cream paper.

Español: Job y su familia restaurados a la prosperidad

Un grabado de líneas finas muestra a una multitud de figuras drapeadas reunidas en un paisaje boscoso bajo una luna creciente, con vacas y ovejas agolpadas en el borde inferior de la escena. Varios bastones se elevan entre las figuras, y una pareja central permanece muy juntos, dibujada con rayado denso y contornos nítidos sobre papel crema.

Bastões altos se erguem entre as figuras, e um casal central permanece bem próximo, desenhado com hachuras densas e contornos nítidos sobre papel creme.
