      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.

        Hyperrealist artists paint this kind of thing all the time. It’s quite possible to paint this using actual paints.

          This is theoretically possible, but I’d doubt a painter would deliberately include a limited depth of field and leave e.g. the legs out of focus. Nor small amounts of motion blur on the falling snow…

            The fact they did do all that is what makes this so amazing. The edges of the eyes is what convinced me it’s not a photo.

        Because they’re wrong and because it is an oil on canvas painting.
