There are no fully documented portraits of Shakespeare painted when he was alive. The best-attested image of him is the Droushout engraving, which appears in the First Folio. Its accuracy as an image of Shakespeare is attested to by many people who knew him. This is the best-known image of Shakespeare. There is also the monument in the church at Stratford, which was paid for and approved by Shakespeare's wife and children as an accurate portrait. It is quite similar to the Droushout. They both show a man with male pattern baldness, a small beard and moustache (unusually small in an era where full pointed beards were the style) and a broad forehead.
The best-authenticated painting of Shakespeare is called the Chandos portrait. Even this is not considered to be properly attested, although it is a popular image.
Every few years someone claims that this painting or that is really a painting of Shakespeare made from life. The evidence for these claims is usually quite scanty, but it makes for a good news story.

Was William Shakespeare of black descent?
No, William Shakespeare was a Caucasian/White English man. This is shown in portraits, and verbal and written descriptions of him. AnswerAs Shakespeare did not come from a noble background no portraits or pictures of him, or any members of his family, were commissioned. Neither is there any evidence that Shakespeare commissioned his own portrait or pictures in his later, prosperous years. There is no evidence that a portrait or pictures were ever painted of him while he was alive, nor is there any written description of his physical appearance. Therefore, pictures and physical descriptions of him were made up at the makers' discretion. These makers were undoubtedly white. However, only a very extensive research would possibly unveil who the real Shakespeare was as far as physical appearance. ------ However, his background seems to indicate he was caucasian. There is no evidence provided to show anything but an Anglo-saxon heritage.

Did William Shakespeare have a portrait?
Yes, there are two authentic portraits of Shakespeare: the memorial monument in Stratford Church and the Droushout engraving in the first Folio, probably the best-known image of Shakespeare. After this we are in the realm of speculation, hoaxes and frauds. A large number of portraits have been put forward as images of Shakespeare merely because they are Elizabethan portraits which do not specifically claim to be pictures of someone else. There are only two such portraits which have more than a totally speculative claim to authenticity. The first is the Chandos portrait, which appears to be remarkably similar to the Droushout. The second is the Sanders portrait which bears an original Jacobean label attached with original Jacobean glue saying that it is a picture of William Shakespeare.
