Shakespeare’s partner portrait found

Available for over a year

A Warwick art historian has uncovered a lost portrait of Shakespeare's patron and possible lover after more than 400 years. Tucked away in a private collection the portrait has been identified as Henry Wriothesley, who some think was the "fair youth" to whom many of Shakespeare's sonnets are addressed. Dr Elizabeth Goldring from University of Warwick told Âé¶¹Éç CWR's Vic Minett about her discovery.
