Handwritten caption in Hebrew beneath the portrait, in large square script: "Portrait of the late R. Yehonatan".
Although the portrait of R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz was disseminated in various versions and in numerous copies after his passing, it appears that the present portrait is not a common one. For more information, see previous item.
