Interesting painting.... you've achieved both a very old-master feel with the chiaroscuro, the warm earth palette and the props (open book, pen-in-hand) and at the same time a very modern feel with the Francis Bacon "melting" form of the hands. I like it.

My only criticism is that I think a few counterpoints in terms of cool colors would make the painting richer and give it more vibration.
