DescriptionBritannica Shakespeare Hunt.jpg |
English: The “Stratford” or “Hunt portrait,” amusingly exhibited in an iron safe in Shakespeare's birthplace at Stratford, to which it was presented by W. O. Hunt, town clerk, in 1867. It had been in the Hunt family for many years and represented a black-bearded man. Simon Collins, the picture cleaner and restorer who had cleansed the Stratford bust of Malone's white paint and restored its colours, declaring that another picture was beneath it, was engaged to exercise himself upon it. He removed the top figure from the dilapidated canvas with spirit and found beneath it the painted version of the Stratford bust. No judge of painting, however, accepts the picture as dating further back than the latter half of the 18th century — when it was probably executed, among a score of others, about the time of the bicentenary of Shakespeare's birth. |
