Show Shakespeare Four portraits of Shakespeare are sulliciently diverse to add piquancy to the question, "What did Shakespeare really look like?" The painting called the Felton portrait, first discovered in a broker's shop In the Minories in 17SS, by "a gentleman of fashion," shows him beardless except for a slight tuft of hair under the lower lip and a small fair mustache. The Lumley portrait, which was originally In possession pos-session of Lord Lumley, a contemporary contempo-rary of the poet, is more In keeping with the generally accepted fancy of Shakespeare's appearance. He la shown with a florid complexion, a close-cropped beard and small brown j mustache. |
