Thanks Julie, Carolyn and Michelle for your input.
She moved into this position naturally. I don't think the flash was used and there was a side light coming in, there was an open window to her right as well as behind her.
That's ok Michelle about not being a resource photo to use. I thought maybe as a figurative one instead of portrait? It is hard to choose the relative positions of the subjects that would be good paintings to work from. Back to the drawing board.
Hopefully, here is the closeup of the face.
