Does anybody know any details concerning this portrait of Rabbi Yitzchak Alfasi (the Rif) that is on the title-page of "Hilchot Rav Alfas", printed in Vienna in the year 1804 by the Yoseph Horoshankatzia press. Was the portrait taken from another source? Do you know of an earlier source of this portrait.
