Anyone have some ideas?

I'm trying to do some research on my uncles art collection. I can't find anything on the following paintings. If anyone knows anything let me know! Thanks!

The first one is a print by Toulouse-Lautrec. Not sure about the two paintings.

Any ideas on how much it's worth?

If it was actually created and signed by Toulouse-Lautrec, maybe a fair amount. Most likely it's just a reproduction, though. It would require an expert to tell you for sure.

The title of the Toulouse Lautrec is "La Clownesse Assise: Mlle Cha-u-Kao" (The Seated Clowness Cha-u-Kao). There are certain differences between this and the one usually reproduced - this seems to be missing the red on the seat and the dress of the woman in the background, and has extra black lines on the seat.

Yeah, I have looked everywhere to find one (the Lautrec) that looks like my uncles but I have had no luck. The top left corner in very small print it says
