Fantastic French Bisque? Porcelain Figures Pt 1

I bought this pair of porcelain figures. This will be a 2 part message, I took 17 pictures with all the detail on the figures. Both stand 16" tall. The outfits are hand painted. The flowers are done nice, the detail in the clothing including the beaded work on his neck scarf, the beaded work on his stockings, the stripes on his pants, the beaded and flowers on the hem of her dress. Both have the same blue mark, which is also impressed into the base. And both have an impressed number. Are these French porcelain? and would anyone know the maker?

 

You know, I just need to see the fronts, backs and bottoms!
