Thanks for the verse. Interesting - I had never heard that before. Seems the plucking of the beard was punishment for blasphemy. Obviously that was what Jesus was accused of. I couldn’t find a good image about it with regard to the shroud. Also debate if it meant the entire beard, or chunks of the beard.
Also of interest that the plucking of the beard is not recorded in the Gospels from what little I read. Obviously it happened, as it is in Isaiah - but for some reason not mentioned in the NT. Unless you know of something.

Here is an old thread with a link to a 3D reconstruction of the head. Possible chunk of beard missing on the figure’s lower chin just left of center (dark spot). Possible disfigured nose. Obvious spotty blood staining around the forehead.
What I find intriguing about the image on the shroud is the accuracy of it with respect to anatomy, blood, etc.
I don’t recall any mention of the beard being plucked except the prophecy.
But then again, there is not mention of other details of the crucifixion that we know mostly likely happened either.
Really, aside from the stripes he took for our healing, it’s His death that is what counted, not how much He suffered before dying. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin, and that is recorded. His suffering didn’t pay for our sins, His death did.
