Pale watercolor of a bearded robed figure with outstretched arms before a stone altar, flames behind, and four kneeling figures.

Sacrifice of Job

A bearded, long-robed figure stands with both arms outstretched before a stone altar block, with a flame and pale sun rising behind him. Four kneeling figures in flowing robes bow at the lower edges, while a distant landscape with ruined columns lies to the left. The ink and watercolor wash drawing uses pale, soft tones.
