Thanks for link.
These are remarkably good, actually seeming to capture more “likeness” than photographs do. The one of Bacall conveys a softer side, reminiscent of Alice Faye.
Yes, lovely portrait of Lauren.
I think you’ll find that they are all copied from photographs.
Here’s the Kay Francis original.
Nevertheless, they are lovely.
