More fun with computer morphing. What did Shakespeare look like? It’s possible one of these computer morphs might provide a clue. The image on the left morphs the Sanders and Chandos portraits. The image on the right morphs in three equal parts the Sanders, Cobb, and Chandos portraits.
For a full discussion of what’s going on here, see this previous summary of Shakespeare portraits, with a morph of the Chandos and Cobb images. I have made these new morphs in response to Jim Hale-Sanders’s arguments in favor of the Sanders portrait.
For reference, here are all three morphs, with the original Chandos/Cobb on the right:

I see your point, JD — there is some similarity there.

Great !
Are you still at it ?
Am trying to spread the shakespearean word in France. Quite a job. The portrait issue is a pungent one when introducing Shakespeare to unaware audiences. Hence my interest in your occupation.
Hope you’re still (alive and) kicking !
All the best
