The Creation, engraving by William Blake
Black-and-white engraving with a central bearded old figure seated beneath a radiant halo, flanked by rows of nude figures with raised arms above and kneeling figures below. Stars, serpentine forms, and inscribed Job verses appear within a decorative border, and the fine hatching gives the composition its dramatic, shadowed texture.
