As the concept art puts it:

And her two in-game sprites, neither of them approximate what the instruction manual promised:

The glaring, wall-sized face of death is how she first meeting the player. The swooning, toga-clad woman appears when Missus Big Face crumbles away. Maybe the instruction manual blended the two into one? Wall face or not, this two- or three- or ugly-faced woman is the first-ever female big bad in a Nintendo game, unless I’m mistaken.
There’s no big conclusion here — just a little thought that I had the time to post.
