No contemporary physical description of William Shakespeare is known to exist. The two portraits of him that are the most famous (both of which are posthumous) are the engraving that appears on the title-page of the First Folio, published in 1623, and the other is the sculpture that adorns his memorial in Stratford upon Avon, which dates from before 1623. Experts and critics have argued that several other paintings from the period may represent him, and more than 60 portraits purporting to be of Shakespeare were offered for sale to the National Portrait Gallery within four decades of its foundation in 1856, but in none of them has Shakespeare's identity been proven.

Dans les quarante ans qui ont suivi sa fondation en 1856, la National Portrait Gallery s'est vu offrir contre rémunération plus de 60 portraits censés représenter William Shakespeare, mais en définitive, il n'y en a que deux qui sont reconnus pour être un portrait de William Shakespeare, et tous deux sont posthumes. L'un est la gravure qui figure sur la couverture du Premier Folio (1623), et l'autre est la sculpture qui orne son mémorial à Stratford-upon-Avon, qui est antérieur à 1623.

Il n'y a aucune preuve concrète que Shakespeare ait jamais commandé son portrait ni aucune description écrite de son apparence physique. On pense toutefois que des portraits du dramaturge circulaient bien de son vivant en raison d'une mention dans la pièce anonyme (en) (vers 1601), où un personnage dit : « O sweet Mr Shakespeare! I'll have his picture in my study at the court. » (« Ô cher monsieur Shakespeare ! Je veux avoir son portrait dans mon cabinet à la cour. ») Après la mort de Shakespeare, à mesure que la renommée du dramaturge s'étendit, des artistes créèrent des portraits et des peintures anecdotiques qui le représentaient et dont la plupart étaient inspirés d'images antérieures, mais dont certaines étaient purement des œuvres d'imagination. Le souvenir de Shakespeare fut aussi célébré de plus en plus dans les (en), d'abord en Grande-Bretagne, puis ailleurs dans le monde. En même temps, la demande de portraits authentiques alimenta le marché des faux et des erreurs d'identification.

There is no concrete evidence that Shakespeare ever commissioned a portrait. However, it is thought that portraits of him did circulate during his lifetime because of a reference to one in the anonymous play Return from Parnassus (c. 1601), in which a character says "O sweet Mr Shakespeare! I'll have his picture in my study at the court." After his death, as Shakespeare's reputation grew, artists created portraits and narrative paintings depicting him, most of which were based on earlier images, but some of which were purely imaginative. He was also increasingly commemorated in Shakespeare memorial sculptures, initially in Britain, and later elsewhere around the world. At the same time, the clamour for authentic portraits fed a market for fakes and misidentifications.
