First of all, has a person ever looked more mischievous? I wish I knew her. Secondly, this is a miniature portrait from around 1660. It comes with overlays that allow you to change her appearance for fun. Filters from 500 years ago lol!

Tiny painting inside an open pendant. Portrait of a young woman, obviously very wealthy, in a fancy dress, with dark hair worn down, in ringlets. She's looking sharply off to the side, and smirking. The whole vibe is very "Mona Lisa, if Mona Lisa was the life of the party".
Same painting, but now with an overlay. You can see most of her face, but she now has a dark moustache and long beard, and is wearing a thick dark cloak with a hood.
The overlay this time is of a nun's habit

The modern world in old Ladybird books. Eating on trains, 1974. Artist: Frank Humphris (Ladybird Leaders: Trains)

To waiters in formal livery, serve a couple in a train compartment. The meal and service look like fine-dining.

The modern world in old Ladybird. “A modern first-class compartment” (1961) Artist: Robert Ayton

3 bery well-dressed people sit in the compartment. A lady wearing the height of Paris fashions and a man sharply dressed like Michael Caine. In the corner is an older businessman, smoking an enormous cigar.

There should be an alternative version of The Repair Shop on iPlayer that's just for men. None of the dead dad stuff, just the bits with a geezer soldering a trombone.
