The Portrait Reference +
Our True-To-Portrait process begins with finding the most accurate historical portrait available. For William Shakespeare, we chose the Chandos portrait (c. 1600–1610) — widely speculated to be the most accurate surviving likeness of Shakespeare, though no portrait has ever been officially confirmed as authentic. This bust is one of the only sculptures currently based on the Chandos portrait specifically.
The portrait captures the distinctive features of the subject — the well-groomed moustache and beard, the receding hairline with hair falling heavier at the sides and base, the sparse brows, the deep-set eyes, the tall prominent nose, and the small gold earring in his left ear, a fashionable accessory among Elizabethan writers and artists of the time. These details are drawn directly from this source and faithfully reproduced in every cast.
