The Chandos portrait is the most famous of the portraits that may depict William Shakespeare (1564–1616). Painted between 1600 and 1610 it may have served as the basis for the engraved portrait of Shakespeare used in the First Folio in 1623. It is named after the Dukes of Chandos who formerly owned the painting.
