Job and His Wife Restored to Prosperity is a 1825 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a group of people standing in a line, all facing forward. Some hold staffs or flags, while others carry sheep. The scene looks like a mix of old-fashioned clothes and dramatic poses. Above them, a border has words like *"Great & Marvellous are Thy Works"* and *"Just & True are Thy Ways."* The text below the picture tells a story about Job, a man who lived a long life and saw his family grow. The words wrap around the edges like a frame, making it feel like a Bible scene brought to life. If this style of print interests you, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed images like this.
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker.
