Original - Quentin Matsys's noted painting The Ugly Duchess. Thought to be a caricature of Margaret, Countess of Tyrol, the painting served as inspiration for the Duchess in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Reason
Certainly eyecatching. Obvious EV in all four usages, but as a noted and influential artwork, rather than as a portrait. The quality of the reproduction is high, and it comes from a reliable source.
