The **"Chandos" portrait** is one of the most famous of the [|portraits that may depict] [|William Shakespeare] (1564–1616). Believed to have been painted from life between 1600 and 1610, it may have served as the basis for the engraved portrait of Shakespeare used in the //[|First Folio]// in 1623.[|[][|1][|]] It is named after the [|Dukes of Chandos], who owned the painting before it was acquired by the National Portrait Gallery. The portrait was given to the [|National Portrait Gallery, London] on its foundation in 1856 and it is listed as number one in its collection, being its first acquisition.[|[][|2][| ]] (Wikipedia, 2013)
