The portrait is presented within an oval frame, a common convention for sixteenth-century commemorative prints. Custos employs precise, disciplined line work to define the facial features, the texture of the subject's beard, and the folds of his academic attire. The surrounding text within the border provides biographical details, noting the year of his death as 1580, which aligns with the age mentioned in the inscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustos, a Flemish engraver who spent much of his career in Augsburg, was known for his technical proficiency in portraiture. His work often served to document the intellectual figures of the era. The composition is balanced and restrained, focusing the viewer's attention on the subject's gaze and the gravity of his expression. Below the portrait, a Latin inscription adds a layer of philosophical reflection, typical of the period's humanistic tradition. The print demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship associated with the printmaking workshops of the late sixteenth century, where the clarity of the burin was used to convey both physical likeness and scholarly status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a fine example of the portrait engraving tradition, where the artist balances technical accuracy with the formal requirements of commemorative art. The use of cross-hatching to create shadow and depth within the oval frame provides a sense of volume to the figure, while the clean lines of the lettering maintain the structural integrity of the print. It remains a clear record of the visual culture surrounding European humanism during the late Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/saint-peter-and-saint-paul-lucas-van-leyden\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint Peter and Saint Paul - Lucas van Leyden — Lucas van Leyden\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/jacht-op-duiven-dove-hunting-philips-galle\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJacht op duiven (Dove Hunting) - Philips Galle — Philips Galle\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dominicus Custos","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428829598031,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428843360591,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428843393359,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428843426127,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428843458895,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428843491663,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428843524431,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428843557199,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428843589967,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428843622735,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428843655503,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428843688271,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portret-van-Hieronymus-Wolf-op-64-jarige-leeftijd_Poster_CompositorV1_1786171567059.jpg?v=1786228371","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/portret-van-hieronymus-wolf-op-64-jarige-leeftijd-dominicus-custos","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
