"I suppose if you just looked at the Stratford moniment
and the DROSHOUT/HERODOTUS portrait, it would be
kind of comedy, but the rest of it, not very funny," -------------------------------------------------------
JAN Van Eyck's _Two guys urinating off a bridge_ https://www.artble.com/imgs/0/9/8/527424/madonna_and_chancellor_rolin.jpg .....................................................
*Gheerarts* JANssen(Jonson)'s bust of Shakespeare: http://mh.cla.umn.edu/ShakTrin.jpg

Appears to me to be a rendition of a JAN Van Eyck's work: http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/eyck/rolin.jpg .....................................................
Check out:

1) The two tone Red & Blue/Green tasselled cushion
(reversed for Shakespere) for holding "the word".

2) The Black Corinthian columns supporting an arch.

3) Shakespere's nose, mouth, eyes, curly hair,
. thick neck & sour apple expression as
. an amalgam of that of Rolin & the christ child
. (and possibly the madonna as well).

4) The breast shaped disks over Shakespere's head representing
the breast shaped disks in the windows that frame the painting.

5) Shakspere's right middle & forefinger extended in writing
as Jesus's right middle & forefinger extended in blessing. ....................................................
6) And *a man in a chaperon waiting to urinating off a bridge* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_a_Man_%28Self_Portrait%3F%29#/media/File:%D7%99%D7%90%D7%9F_%D7%95%D7%90%D7%9F_%D7%90%D7%99%D7%99%D7%A7.jpg

<<The man [Jan van Eyck] is not, as it is commonly thought, wearing a turban, but a chaperon with the ends that normally hang down tied up over the top, which would be a sensible precaution if it was worn whilst painting. A similar chaperon is worn by a
figure in the background of van Eyck's Rolin Madonna, and it has been suggested that this is also a self-portrait.>>
