No picture?

I did a google image search for "Thomas Heywood", and came up with a whole bunch of random pictures, but nothing definitive. Did he refuse to let people paint him or something? I'm wondering if this merits further discussion.

Most English Renaissance playwrights do not have surviving portraits. Heywood, Thomas Dekker, John Webster, John Ford, Philip Massinger, Thomas Kyd, etc. are all faceless. Even Christopher Marlowe's portrait probably isn't him. This is quite normal for middle class people at the time, I would think. The Singing Badger 01:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've added a bit to the intro to signal the best known play. It'd be good to separate out the works into their different genres (plays, poems, etc.), but I need to dig around for a reliable source to start that.  • DP •  {huh?} 14:20, 10 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
