About the piece
Created in 1843 by Jean-François Brémond, this oil study captures the prophet Isaiah seated on stone steps as he records sacred texts. Originally a preparatory sketch for the Church of Saint-Jacques-Saint-Christophe in Paris, the piece features a luminous blue backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the warm terracotta and sage green of the figure's robes.
