Bildnis Rudolf Koller is a 1898 oil by Jakob Welti, a Art Nouveau work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This portrait features a man with a white beard, dressed in a dark suit and red tie, sitting in a wooden chair. His right arm rests on the chair's arm, while his left hand is positioned on his lap. The subject's attire and the chair suggest a formal setting, possibly from the late 19th or early 20th century. The overall atmosphere of the painting appears somber and contemplative. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting adds depth and dimension to the subject's features and the surrounding environment.

Jakob Welti (1871–1952) was an artist, born in Winterthur.
