Most of the images of Shakespeare are old enough that they are in the public domain. It's only new drawings or paintings of Shakespeare which may be copyrighted.
We don't have many samples of Shakespeare's handwriting. What we have is his signature a number of times on legal documents. It's awful. Google Image "Shakespeare Signature" if you don't believe me.
There are no fully documented portraits of Shakespeare painted when he was alive. The best-attested image of him is the Droushout engraving, which appears in the First Folio. Its accuracy as an image of Shakespeare is attested to by many people who knew him. This is the best-known image of Shakespeare. There is also the monument in the church at Stratford, which was paid for and approved by Shakespeare's wife and children as an accurate portrait. It is quite similar to the Droushout. They both show a man with male pattern baldness, a small beard and moustache (unusually small in an era where full pointed beards were the style) and a broad forehead. The best-authenticated painting of Shakespeare is called the Chandos portrait. Even this is not considered to be properly attested, although it is a popular image. Every few years someone claims that this painting or that is really a painting of Shakespeare made from life. The evidence for these claims is usually quite scanty, but it makes for a good news story.
The dominant image in Sonnet 18 is light. Sonnet 18 was written by William Shakespeare and is sometimes referred to as Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Check out an image of Queen Elizabeth I, or Mary Sidney, or the Earl of Essex, or Sir Walter Raleigh to get an idea.
When Shakespeare talks of the "Dawn in russet mantle clad" he presents something which the painter does not present. There is in this line of his nothing that one can call description; he presents. -Direct quote from Pound's writings

Martin Droushout is the artist who created the picture of Shakespeare which was printed in the First Folio, surely the most famous image of the Bard. It is also the best authenticated image of him, since a number of people who knew Shakespeare well said it was a good likeness.

They didn't have photography when Anne Hathaway lived. There is no authenticated image of her in existence.
