The God-fearing Job is a 1900 oil by Gyula Kardos, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting depicts a scene of three men, with one man sitting on the ground, naked, and the other two standing behind him. The man on the ground has a gaunt appearance, with his head tilted back and his eyes closed. The two men standing behind him are dressed in robes, with one wearing a red robe and the other a white robe with a patterned head covering. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the lighter tones of the figures. The overall mood of the painting appears somber and contemplative.
