Shakespeare:
Let it be know to thy birth giver that thy stomach consists of nothingness

Susan A Wozniak wrote: ”The Sanders portrait looks unfinished. …. It also looks like an unfinished sketch. Perhaps, the sitter grew weary of posing.” I found this affirmation quite interesting! But may be the sitter was IN FACT Shakespeare and he did not want to spend more time doing that. After all in 1603 Shakespeare was quite busy writing and playing at the theater. Then possibly Sanders did not have the time to add the final paints to complete his work. Unfinished or not, I suggest that you have a look at the following study: https://news.canadianshakespeares.ca/2015/10/16/a-comparative-examination-of-the-sanders-portrait-of-shakespeare-and-the-droeshout-engraving-of-shakespeare/

The aristocratic man in the Hilliard portrait seems to be a curly-haired ginger, even a strawberry blonde. I do not think it is Shakespeare. Nor do I think the rather pretty, very young man in the Cobbe portrait is Shakespeare, although he does appear to wear a wig, perhaps, one borrowed from a theatrical company. The Sanders portrait looks unfinished. It also looks like it was painted by someone who wanted to be an artist when he grew up who persuaded an indulgent cousin or neighbor to sit for him in order to allow him to practice. It also looks like an unfinished sketch. Perhaps, the sitter grew weary of posing.

I do, however, feel that young Mr. Droeshout was shown the Chandos portrait to refresh his memory or to show him for the first time what Shakespeare looked like. The faces in both are similar enough — with just a touch of age — to be two portraits of the same man. The Chandos portrait shows a man with just a bit of the artist (or dandy) in that one gold earring. If there is a portrait of Will, that’s the one.
