all of them I guess - like who in the world would even want to go to all of the trouble painting some of these - self portrait with skeleton was excusing himself from dieting? & what model would say, 'ok, it's fine if posterity sees this,' as with the painter & his wife. scratching my head especially if they have kids... amused... especially enjoyed your selfie with magnifier lol

Some of them are from wikiart.org, some of them are from other art sites. One of them this time is an AI image (Substack has an image generator built into the platform). I really enjoy finding interesting art to use for the newsletter. :)
