Thanks Miss Nancy,

Well I did google the names of the two painters and found them on wiki.
Underneath the pictures I found this "statement"

This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.


Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Côte d'Ivoire has 99 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras also has a general copyright term of 75 years, but does implement that rule of the shorter term.

One artist passed away in 1861 and the other in 1849.
So I asume that I can use these pictures to convert to tattoo's.

Corect me if I'm wrong.

P.S.
With "my girl" I mean the poser model I work on.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Single people tend to say strange things in that area ;-)

I am not a complete idiot, some parts are missing :)
