Which artwork do I look like?
One front-facing photo is enough. We look at 6 facial proportions, such as eye shape, face shape and feature spacing, and pick public-domain museum sculptures and portraits close to yours. The photo is processed on your device and never leaves it.
Free every time you score a photo. No payment details needed.

How the match works
Your 6 facial proportions
We measure 478 facial landmarks on your device and work out 6 proportions, such as eye shape, face shape and feature spacing. The photo never leaves the device.
Every work measured the same way
Each face in the collection was measured with the same landmarks and proportions. Only works whose faces can be measured reliably are included.
A few works close to you
We pick works close to you on those proportions. One sits next to your photo; the others are equally close, in no particular order.
What the full report shows
The artwork match is part of the full report. The free report keeps a place for it, but the work and its title only appear once the full report is unlocked.
You and the work, side by side
Your photo next to the work, with its title, artist and date.
Where you are close
A line on where your facial proportions are close to the work’s. No number, no ranking.
More works just as close
A few more works, in no particular order, to look through one by one.
A comparison to share
An image of you and the work that you can save or share.
What “close” means
Proportions, not looks
Close describes facial proportions. It is not a verdict on anyone’s looks.
Your score plays no part
The match never looks at your beauty score. Whatever the score, the works are picked and described the same way.
Same photo, same works
One photo always gets the same works. A photo with a different angle or expression may get different ones.
Where the works come from
Every work comes from a museum’s open collection and is in the public domain (CC0 or public domain mark). Most are sculptures and portraits, from museums such as:
- The Metropolitan Museum of Art
- Smithsonian American Art Museum
- National Gallery of Art
- Rijksmuseum
- J. Paul Getty Museum
- Cleveland Museum of Art
- Art Institute of Chicago
…and other museums.
We leave out works that caricature or mock someone’s looks or age. However neutral the wording, nobody should be matched to one.
Artwork match FAQ
Anything else? Email support@facialrate.com and include your order ID; it saves a whole round of back-and-forth.
Is the artwork match free?
It is part of the full report, a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Need several? A 24-hour pass covers up to 5 full reports on one device. The free report has your score and tier, face type, strongest feature, highlights, face shape and jawline, thirds and fifths and 11+ features; its artwork card stays locked, with neither the work nor its title.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Face detection and measuring run in the browser on your device, and neither the photo nor its facial landmarks leave it. To pick the works, a few derived values are sent once, when you open the payment page or unlock a report with a 24-hour pass: the names of up to 3 facial proportions, whether each is higher or lower and by how much, and where they sit in a reference group. The server does not keep them.
Why is there no similarity percentage?
Because the distance between facial proportions is not a measure of how alike two faces are. Turned into a percentage it would look precise but be made up. The report says where you are close instead, and the other works come in no particular order.
Will a different photo give a different artwork?
It can. Angle, expression and light all change the measured proportions; a smile, for one, changes the width of the eyes, nose and mouth. The same photo always gets the same works.
Does my score affect which artwork I get?
No. The match looks only at facial proportions, never at your score, and the works are described the same way whatever the score.
Can I share the comparison?
Yes. The full report makes an image of you next to the work that you can save or share. The works themselves are in the public domain.
