It's very nice.

It looks like it might've been projected on like a Chuck Close or
that it might be a large print of the picture that's then been color-matched (very well) & painted over for that hyperrealistic effect. It may have been one photo that was gridded off into sheet sized sections even & all of it has now been painted over successfully, & that's why it's painted on wood. something like masonite would have also worked to be sturdy enough to glue down the initial grids of sheet sized pieces of the photograph. Or at the very least, the artist must have employed grids to assist in freehand.

& that's nothing against the artist. i'm just trying to reveal a little about how it was perhaps created. painters have been using whatever forms of technology were available to them for a long, long time.
