What do Irish people look like? Hair, eyes and skin in 49 observed portraits

Three trait families measured across 49 documented portraits of Irish people. Each family links to its full distribution.

  • Irish catalog portrait, AI-generated, face in view

Catalog portraits for Irish are AI-generated adult subjects; the measurements on this page come from documented photographs of real people, not from these images.

Irish: hair texture wavy in 46% of 48; hair color black in 31% of 49.

Irish: iris color blue in 50% of 40; epicanthic fold absent in 100% of 48; eye shape almond in 65% of 48.

Irish: fitzpatrick skin type II in 92% of 48; undertone warm in 67% of 48.

Where these numbers come from

49 publicly documented portraits of notable Irish people were assessed by a vision model against the catalog vocabulary, one row per portrait. Values are what the photographs show, read by a model, not population measurements. Each table counts only portraits where the value could be assessed; covered, obscured and unclear portraits are reported separately.

Notable-people corpora skew older, so hair color over-represents gray and white, and image quality varies. Treat shares as a description of this sample.

The same rows are published as image_observations in the catalog dataset; see the methodology. A family page exists only when at least 10 portraits carry an assessable value.
