“The Globe and Metropolitan Police artist Cathy Charsley have created an image of Shakespeare as he may have looked as a 14.
“”I spent quite a lot of time studying the Droeshout engraving and also ‘Chandos’ portrait,”explains Cathy.
“”I have been trained in age progression for my job, so I worked in reverse, deciding how the face would be different if aged 14, and what features were important, Young Will is my personal interpretation, based on my knowledge of faces and how they change.”"

I think ‘Chandos’ portrait is not the real Shakespeare. Good work anyway.
