Made a connection and admire the set dresser

There is a TV show called "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist." It's a musical, sort of, but the only aspect of the show that is relevant to this post is that Zoey is manager of a bunch of programmers at a startup. In a brief shot of her living room, there is a picture over her mantel. It is a portrait (basically a head and shoulders) that seemed a couple of hundred years old to me, not in the style of other stuff in the apartment. I had the flash "It's freaking Ada Lovelace!" and did an image search. Yup. Not the most famous portrait, but this one:

Kudos to the set dresser, or whoever had the idea to do something that is subtle but intuitively obvious.
