Louise, I think you have a real nice portrait there. I think the family will be quite pleased.
In order to give a good critique one must see each part of the figure closer. If you do have time though and from what I can tell, I think you need to work on the arms some. The arm in light has not accurate form, the relationship between light, half-tone, shadow and reflected light and the anatomical structure mite need some adjusting or should I say anatomical flow of lines. The arm the boy is leaning on seems that it mite be to dark, compared to the other parts in shadow.
I hope this helps and keep up the good work.
