EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Ashbourne Portrait of Shakespeare" from the 16th century, painted by Cornelius Ketel.

The painting's intricate details and vibrant colors transport us back to Elizabethan England, capturing the essence of this fascinating era. In this portrait, a distinguished gentleman is depicted wearing an elaborate ruff collar and lace cuffs, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. His gaze is intense and contemplative as he holds a skull in his hand—a powerful symbol reminding us of our mortality.
