Prophet Hosea

Prophet Hosea is depicted full-length and frontal, with his right hand raised in a gesturing blessing and his left hand holding a scroll inscribed with text, set against a flat gold-toned field. He wears a vivid red cloak over a pale tunic, and the cloak’s folds are rendered with crisp, linear drapery that gives the figure a compact, monumental presence. The work reflects the Sienese Gothic style of Duccio, with clear contours, restrained shading, and a ceremonial, devotional mood.
