Dame Maggie Smith’s portrait has entered the National Portrait Gallery, and her likeness looks just as all-knowingly annoyed as the real Dame so often and entertainingly does. It’s perfect, so why not take James Lloyd’s lovely rendition and incorporate it into some of art’s most revered work? A little extra Dame never hurt nobody, so let’s class up the joint by adding Maggie to these familiar scenes.
