Description:This bronze statue was designed for the entrance foyer of the Shakespeare Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon, the building being formally opened in conjunction with the Quatercentenary Celebrations in 1964. It is one of a number of artworks commissioned by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust for the building, a project that employed some of the leading artists of the time. The sculptor Douglas Wain-Hobson, (1918-2001) left Shakespeare's eyes blank with the intention that the viewer could imagine the details of how the poet would look.
