All these images are a series of lithographs (estampe) painted around 1990-1992 by the Creative and Production Association "Khudozhnyk" (Kyiv, Ukraine) for sale to schools, libraries, etc. All nominated images are widely distributed on the Internet and on various non-authoritative sites are often erroneously dated from the 16th to the 20th centuries. Probably because of this, different users downloaded them by mistake (I also downloaded 2 of them). Although obviously the style (frame, colors, technique) is the same, so it's a single series. Unfortunately, I did not find the authors and years of creation of these 5 images. However, due to the fact that none of the sources indicated in the images are authoritative, I suggest comparing the nominated images with similar portraits dated 1990-1992 on sites for the sale of used goods:

In addition, I found an image on the website Ukrinform (this is a state information agency in Ukraine), where there is a similar portrait and it is listed as "lithography, 1990, Vasyl Skakandii":

All this indicates that the images were created between 1990-1992 and their authors are either still alive or recently deceased, so the files cannot be placed under PD-Art. --Seva Seva (talk) 20:30, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
