This three-quarter-length depiction of the Old Testament prophet shows him holding a scroll in his left hand and looking to the left. The inscription derives from his prophecy (Isaiah 7:14), which was interpreted as predicting the birth of Jesus.
This panel formed the second pinnacle from the left of the high altarpiece of S. Croce, Florence.
The condition of the panel is poor; there is extensive damage both at the top and bottom, and it has been considerably cut at the bottom.
