The Duchess from Alice in Wonderland - supposedly John Tenniel based her likeness on Margaret, Countess of Tyrol, who was supposed to have been the ugliest woman who ever existed. The funny thing is, my brother used to know a bloke who was a dead ringer for Tenniel's picture in Alice. (Only without the enormous wimple, or whatever that thing on her head is.)
