Tbh, what I perceive as “art” in the original work is still unique and wasn’t copied into the reproduction. It’s a copy of hair, face and clothing configuration, which is non-unique and a strange subject for copyright. I mean this is obviously borderline, but still a subjective issue. If you like analogies, it’s like some pro photographer found a place, angle and hundreds of other parameters to shoot in the nature, copyrighted the image, and then someone geoguess’d that exact place next day and took a pic with their iphone or google maps street view.
