Did he die face up or face down? For his sake, hope it was face up (although, those self-absorbed women with the “mean” faces may disagree).
Maybe he died with his face to one side. 🙂
It’s easy to see why he earned the inventor of the pin-up photos. Pretty paintings well done, thanks for sharing.
I don’t know much about the pin-up, but I like these portraits much. 🙂
Women in Paris must not have had enough to eat.
Haha!

I tip my hat. 🙂
As an artist I admire the paintings; but too, some of these ladies surely are Barbie prototypes
There was no such thing as Barbie when these portraits were painted. 🙂
Precisely, They served as inspiration.
Beautiful!
