Español: Satán golpeando a Job con llagas

Una figura desnuda y alada se encuentra de pie sobre un hombre tendido en una llanura árida, con los brazos extendidos y un chorro de fuego que cae de una de sus manos sobre el cuerpo. Una mujer arrodillada, vestida con ropas blancas, observa a su lado bajo un cielo oscuro teñido por la luz roja del atardecer.

Português: Satanás ferindo Jó com feridas

Uma figura nua e alada permanece em pé sobre um homem prostrado em uma planície árida, com os braços abertos e um jato de fogo caindo de uma de suas mãos sobre o corpo dele. Uma mulher ajoelhada, vestida de branco, observa ao lado deles sob um céu escuro tingido pela luz vermelha do pôr do sol.
