The picture looks good. If that is with the Artar, then the overall flare level appears very reasonable. That is a challenging shot to keep the shadows free from density from overall flare. I don't know what you plan, but for the portraits I do it wouldn't worry me. Hurrell used a Goerz Celor that I believe had the same number of air/glass surfaces. Here's a link that should take you to a relevant page in a book about Hurrell:

I don't know if it is helpful, but here's some discussion about the designs:

I used mine for panoramic Cirkut camera photos so don't personally know about the sharp/unsharp, but there were plenty on portrait cameras. The biggest potential issue to me is the speed; I'd rather have faster, but think you'll be fine. F9.5 is a nice aperture for portraits, but dimmer viewing. It will effectively be about a stop slower at likely portrait distances due to the bellows extension. Fairly shallow depth of field, but I often use f4 to f6 for portraits, so that wouldn't bother me.
