After the 'Chandos' portrait, named after James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos (1673-1744), who owned the portrait, now in the National Portrait Gallery, London. It has been claimed that the portrait was painted by the actor and Shakespeare's friend, Richard Burbage (1567-1619), although George Vertue states that it was painted by John Taylor, a member of the Painter-Stainer's company, and that before the Duke of Chandos acquired it, the portrait was owned by Shakespeare's godson, William Davenant (1606-1668).
