Dominicus Custos's engraving, *Portret van Hieronymus Wolf*, depicts Hieronymus Wolf, a noted scholar, in an oval frame. The engraving was created between 1579 and 1615, the year of Custos's death. The inscription on the frame, "Effigies homo parca tua est. Deus effigiem fac Me quoque dum vivo semper habere tuam," translates to "Your image, dear man, is what you are. May God make me always have your image while I live." The engraving is currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
