I can't agree more, that it's the artist's privilege. It's his medium after
all.
My lingering doubt arises because, if the "Bette Davis Speaks" version of
the picture is the true depiction with no smoke, then why on earth would the
stamp artist depict, from his creative mind, a hand that looks to be holding
a deleted cigarette? Why create conspiracy where it doesn't exist? Occam's
Razor needs an answer.
This is JUST MY OPINION, but possibly the artist isn't very good at
drawing hands.
And the stamp image is squeezed horizontally. Try downloading both the
photo & the stamp image and layering the stamp over the photo at 50%
opacity. Scale the stamp image until the two faces are the same "size".
You'll still have to stretch the stamp image horizontally to make the
two faces match up.
After you do, the hands are dis-proportionate.
