The lace caught my eye first, never mind who was wearing it!

An article in today's New York Times discusses a recently found portrait
thought to be William Shakespeare. He is wearing a lace collar. The
portrait is thought to date from 1610 (confirmed by x-ray of the wood
panel) which was six years before Shakespeare died in 1616. One argument
presented for the position that it is not Shakespeare is that the lace is
too aristocratic and nice, although an accompanying video has a scholar
type claiming that Shakespeare was quite successful by the end of his
life and would have been able to afford sartorial finery.
Any thoughts?

Discussions on BBC24 this morning, were suggesting that it is
Shakespeare, Reason that at the time the painting was commissioned he was
wealthy enough to afford it. Should be able to raise this on the net.
