Onfroy de Bréville, known by the pen name Job after his initials (1858-1931), a French artist and illustrator, was well known for his military, patriotic and nationalistic subjects. He joined the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and exhibited at the "Salon des artistes français" in 1886, receiving a mixed reception. He therefore began a career as an illustrator.
