In the coloured in version I have, Shakespeare is blonde, his boots are blue with gold tops. The skirt is gold, and the short tunic over it is blue, the cloak is red and there is a piece of red material hanging down in front of the tunic, knotted onto the cloak on the left shoulder and fixed somehow on the right - it could perhaps have been used as a hood but would help to balance the cloak when it was thrown back behind the shoulders. The colouring in makes it clear that separate garments are intended - assuming that is the case and not just the colourists whim

Lord Burghley is resplendent in purple.

Shakespeare appears to be holding a partly peeled stalk of Indian Corn, with tassels in his left hand - I wonder if there is any significance in that, as there seems to be significance in most things.
