"Oh, here it is! Here it is! I found it! 46% match: Portrait of a Seated Man."

"I've had ones that have just looked, very, almost offensive? Don't look like me at all. Or sometimes very close to my appearance but not in the most flattering way."

"Do I look like her?"

"I feel very fancy looking at these. All of them have a Victorian collar, their hair is curled, they have a lot of jewelry. And the painting styles are really different too. I can tell that they're from different eras.

"I think the beard might be a little misleading because all the results have beards so far. So I think it's pretty much focusing on that aspect as opposed to other things.
