Is this work genuine painting or is someone pulling the wool over our eyes?

sure hope it's real................. nice !!!

Did you look at the teeth...

Looking at her, on the right side, by the corner of her mouth, the tooth is black, and on the left side, there is a big gap, between the corner of her mouth to the teeth, when you have a beautiful set of teeth, it should have been closer to the corner of the mouth, like the left side. try to smile, and see if there is a gap, on one side..even taking a picture, wouldn't show a gap like that.

Isn't she beautiful

I believe it could have been painted.

I still can't decide if it's for real or a hoax.

IMHO I'm going to say it's a hoax. First I think the various steps are the original photo being minipulated. Secondly I enlarged the 'work' 8X and lightened it and I can see almost every hair including all the loose hairs around her head. Who would/could paint each and every hair. Thirdly in the enlargement you can see the dilation of her eye's pupils, hard to paint that due to the smallness in the original work. And fourthly you can see the pores in her skin. Due to the size he is showing he could never paint those. Fifthly it's too perfect :-). Hoax!
