on top right: Sir Francis Drake (1540-1596, sea captain and explorer)
below left: the "Darnley Portrait" of Elizabeth I of England. The Artist is unknown. It was named after a previous owner. Probably painted from life, this portrait is the source of the face pattern called "The Mask of Youth".
below middle: William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley (1521-1598, statesman and advisor to Queen Elisabeth I.)
below right: William Shakespeare (1564 (baptised)-1616, worldfamous author of the Elisabethan aera). This portrait is called "Chandos Portrait" and was long thought to be the only portrait of William that had any claim to have been painted from life, until another possible life portrait was revealed in 2009. It was the first portrait to be acquired by the National Portrait Gallery in 1856.
This small jigsaw puzzle made of cardboard was bought sealed. It was manufactured in the 1980ies by an english company that is now specialized in padblocks and noteblocks.
