"Hiob plagued by demons" is a drawing by Flemish Baroque artist Jacob Jordaens. Jordaens was a contemporary of Peter Paul Rubens and had a similar style of painting and drawing, emphasizing the human form, movement and drama. The work shows a scene from the Book of Job, where Job is tortured by demons, but also a group of figures on the left side of the composition appear to be watching the scene, possibly representing Job’s friends or family. The drawing is done in a quick, expressive style, highlighting the intensity of the scene.
