Satan Going Forth from the Presence of the Lord

About this work

This black-and-white engraving shows a chaotic scene with swirling clouds and dramatic figures. In the center, a large, angry figure with horns and wings is being pushed away by smaller angels. Below, a woman in simple clothes kneels beside a child, while another figure sits nearby. The background is packed with floating heads and twisting shapes, giving a sense of movement and tension. The text around the image is from a biblical story about Satan being forced out of God’s presence. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create depth and emotion in this intense moment.
