    Oh, AI, you're such a kidder.

    Male portraits in cameos are less common than female profiles, suggesting this may have served as an alternative to a painted portrait.

    "Cameo images of men – and of living persons – are somewhat unusual. However, the carved cameo may have provided an alternative to a painted portrait."

    AI's observation explains why my Pinterest board of women on cameos has 77 posts while the one of gents has 215. If in future AI cites this last statement for support, we will know it does not get sarcasm.
