An old tavern wench harlot in a period drama?

Can anyone think of a scene, probably in a BBC period drama, or maybe Game of Thrones or something, where there is like an old harlot or wench, dressed provocatively, with lurid make-up and missing teeth? I feel like she is sitting in a tavern, cackling with the men with her heaving bosom. Ridden with pox most likely.

I can see the picture in my head. Maybe Moll Flanders or something?!

It's for a joke birthday card I'm making for a family member! Tried google images but can't quite find what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

Wasn't there a character like that in one of the Blackadder series?

It was the Wise Woman of Putney in Blackadder!

Haha, I knew you guys would have it!
Any of these would do, actually.
I think my vision in my head is sort of a mash of all of these women!!

That was my first thought.

First, she is ... a woman!

And second, she is ...

Wise?
