| Description |
English: The “Soest portrait” (often called Zoust or Zoest) of William Shakespeare, formerly known as “the Douglas,” the “Lister Kaye” or the “Clarges portrait” according to the owner of the moment. For many years a public favourite, mainly through J. Simon's excellent
mezzotint. The picture, a short half-length within an oval, is manifestly meant for Shakespeare, but the head as nearly resembles the head of Christ at Lille by Charles Delafosse (1636-1716) who also painted pictures in England. Gerard Soest was not born until 1637, and according to Granger the picture was painted in Charles II.'s reign. |
