Philippe, this lady has an apparent history and an obvious attitude written (or painted, I guess) all over this piece.
The anatomical structures are perfect, the drapery of fabric well executed in a loose style with strong, compelling, and descriptive lighting, the colors (especially yellows played off the complementary violets) visually satisfying without gawdy provocation.
Your ability to do just enough -- and no more -- really shows here.
Excellent execution.
