The Story Of Two Lovers Without Shame
From the back:
Women Who Pay
Marceau had known only the sordid streets of Paris, when he was picked up by the seductive Madame Alice. She introduced him to a world of luxury — of wealthy women willing to pay for their entertainment.
Alice’s power over Marceau was complete, until he met Dominique — and knew he must destroy the woman who had corrupted him, or lead an innocent girl into hopeless depravity.

Raymond Pease instead of Raymond Johnson ?…
Only asking.
Everyone seems pretty sure it’s Johnson
No, it is not Raymond Johnson. The faces (nose, eyes), the woman’s hair, shades, the technic of painting, nothing matches.
Frankly, one can only think of Pease.
