Satan Smiting Job with Boils

About this work

This engraving shows a muscular man standing with arms outstretched, his body covered in rough, uneven lines. Below him, a smaller figure lies curled up on the ground, clutching their head. The sky is dark with swirling clouds, and the scene looks stormy. Strange creatures and objects—like a spider, a pot, and a bird—are scattered around the edges. The words around the image are Bible verses about suffering, matching the man’s pained expression. The artist used sharp, jagged lines to show pain and struggle.
