The Grafton portrait is an anonymous Elizabethan panel painting of an unidentified young man who has been proposed, without confirmation, to be a likeness of William Shakespeare. The panel carries inscriptions giving his age as twenty four and the year 1588, meaning the sitter would have been born around 1564, the same year as Shakespeare.
