Job's Sacrifice is a 1825 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man standing in front of a stone structure, with his arms outstretched and his head tilted upwards. He is dressed in a long robe, and his hair is long and unkempt. The background of the painting features a mountainous landscape with a bright light shining down from above. The man's facial expression is one of devotion and prayer, as if he is offering a sacrifice to a higher power. The overall mood of the painting is one of reverence and spirituality. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Romanticism artist William Blake.
