Ōji by Katsushika Hokusai, 1800
From what I can find this is a page out of a picture-book of Edo views — comic poems up top, a small scene printed underneath, the whole thing bound and sold to be flipped through rather than hung anywhere. The verses are by several different people, not by the one who drew the pictures.

Portrait Miniature of Margaret Roper by Hans Holbein the Younger, 1535
According to what I found, this is Sir Thomas More's daughter, said to have been a scholar herself. Whoever labeled it gave her age, not her name.
Erisava: That fur and those rings say she didn't skimp on this portrait.
