In heaven, Satan asks God if he may test Job. Then Satan pours out his doom on Job. Job is sitting on the dung heap and his skin is covered with sores. His wife urges him to curse God, but Job does not. In the background, the robbery of Job's cattle. Below the scene is a Latin reference to the Bible text in Job 2.
