Shakespeare portrait in the news

A “new” portrait of Shakespeare was discovered in an Irish house. There is some debate about whether this is a picture painted from life, or during Shakespeare’s lifetime. All the other portraits we have are copies painted after he died.

What do you think? Is he hot?

  1. Oh, dear – he looks like a bit like one of my high school English teachers, so I couldn’t possibly justify myself in saying that he was hot :P

    It is interesting to see, though. I wonder if it’s really accurate or not.

    Do you notice how these portraits never show the teeth? Oh, I am so glad for toothpaste in these modern times…

  2. Definitely better looking that the portrait in our anthology! You were right about the soft eyes, though!
