Job Rebuked by His Friends is a 1825 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this engraving, a man with a long white beard sits on the ground, surrounded by four others. One of them points at him, while the others look on with concern. The scene is set against a mountainous backdrop with a cloudy sky. The engraving is done in a detailed style, with lots of fine lines that create texture and depth. The figures are dressed in simple robes, and their facial expressions convey a sense of emotion. This engraving is a great example of the Romanticism movement, which often explored themes of nature and the human experience.
