Portrait of William Shakespeare engraved by 19th century English engraver Harland after a work attributed to N. Hilliard. However it is thought the picture was done not by Nicholas Hilliard but by his son Laurence Hilliard. William Shakespeare, English playwright, 1564 – 1616. Nicholas Hilliard, English miniaturist, 1547 - 1619. Laurence Hilliard, English miniaturist, 1582 - 1648. There is no concensus as to whether this is an actual portrait of Shakespeare.
