This is a black-and-white image of an artwork depicting a scene from the biblical Book of Job. The centerpiece of the composition features Job, a figure from the Hebrew Bible, sitting on the ground in a state of despair surrounded by three other figures who appear to be his friends or comforters. In the background, architectural structures remind of a distant town or city. The style of the engraving suggests it could be from the late 18th to early 19th century. It includes text around the main image that seems to be scriptural references or quotations related to the scene. The words at the top read: "What! shall we receive Good at the hand of God & shall we not also receive Evil." At the bottom, there is a passage that continues with: "And when they lifted up their eyes afar off & knew him not they lifted up their voice & wept & they rent every Man his mantle & sprinkled dust upon their heads towards heaven." At the very bottom of the page, there's more text, likely pertaining to the publishing information of the print, which reads: "London Published as the Act directs March 8, 1825, by R. Bowyer Pall Mall." The margin of the paper shows some signs of aging, indicating the print may be quite old. The overall presentation suggests that this is a plate from a published book, perhaps an illustrated bible or a collection of religious artworks.
