likeness
How twins match
Likeness is resemblance or similarity in appearance: The portrait captured her likeness perfectly.
A likeness is also a representation of someone—a portrait, photograph, or statue: His likeness hangs in the boardroom.
The word implies visual correspondence: a family likeness, a striking likeness to her mother.
