| - Numerosi sono i dipinti o le sculture che raffigurano William Shakespeare, ma nella maggior parte dei casi si tratta di opere posteriori alla sua morte, realizzate da artisti che non lo videro mai. (it)
- 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. (fr)
