In March 2009, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust made public an oil portrait dated to around 1605, claiming that it is a portrait given by Shakespeare's then-patron the Earl of Southampton to the Cobbe family in Ireland; the existence of the painting was unknown until recently. Experts assert, and other experts deny, and the scientific evidence is strong but proves nothing in particular. {Click on the detail graphic at left to see the full painting in a new window.} Cobbe portrait entry at Wikipedia

Queen Elizabeth
Elizabeth Tudor was born in 1533, and crowned Queen of England & Ireland in 1558.
Will Shakespeare was born in 1564; Queen Elizabeth died in 1603 and was succeeded
by James I. Because Will Shakespeare lived until 1616, he then lived for 39 years
under Elizabeth as sovereign and 13 years under James.
