Wrinkled, furrowed, jowly and far from attractive, An Old Woman, by the Flemish artist Quinten Massys, is one of the standout paintings in London's National Gallery.It is usually called The Ugly Duchess, after it became the inspiration for Sir John Tenniel's drawing of the infamous duchess in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
