A portrait of the רוו"ה, Wolf Heidenheim.
This portrait of Wolf Heidenheim (1757-1832) was painted by one of the most famous Jewish artists of the 19th century, Moritz Oppenheim (1799?-1802) and is in the possession of Ernest and Erica Michael.
This isn't a great quality image; a beautiful reproduction is in Ashkenaz: the German Jewish heritage, a companion book to a Yeshiva University Museum exhibit by that name in 1988.
