"The Prophet Isaiah" is an engraving by Francesco Rosselli from his series "Prophets and Sibyls". The artwork depicts Isaiah, a major prophet in the Hebrew Bible, seated on a throne with a scroll in his hand. The engraving is done in a fine, detailed style, characteristic of Rosselli's work in the late 15th century. The piece is framed by a long scroll in the background that contains a text in Latin. The work has a strong religious and historical significance.
