What’s the point? Just take a picture.
They already did. They needed to take a picture to upload to Portrait.App.
Don't know why you were downvoted. There's clearly far too much detail, especially in all the individual hairs and the melting snowlflakes, for this to be a real painting.
Maybe it was digitally painted by tracing over the actual photo, but I doubt it.
Because they're wrong and because it is an oil on canvas painting.
