It's a picture of a picture under glass — this is an art show at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, Calif. Drake still looks a lot different, a little older, possibly even thinner or lighter. Uncharted 4 is said to take place several years after the events of the last Uncharted. This is probably the model of Drake used for cutscenes, of course.

Teased in November 2013, and named at E3 2014, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End will launch in 2015 on PlayStation 4 only. You can see the E3 trailer for the game below.
