The Op painting was made over a century after his lifetime and only has the drawing I have posted and this funerary monument as a basis.

These are the only two authentic depictions, and there are many puzzles in and around them which could lead one to think who they're supposed to represent is made up.

The Painting in the OP, the Chandos Portrait, is the only known one in Shakespeare's lifetime

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandos_portrait
>The Chandos portrait is the most famous of the portraits that are believed to 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.[

That’s a false image. It was made over a century after Shakespeare was even alive. This is the only authentic portrayal we have him, and even then it’s origins are dubious at best
