Anthony,

Nice work! Very ambitious. The overall effect outweighs my critique. Only a smart aleck fellow artist might pick on the things I note. The vase on the piano seems to hang behind the book; not quite on the book, nor on the piano. The drape tends to look as though it clings to the back of the chair, and the highlights on the subject's right leg form a lineal pattern that tends not to describe the leg below it. On my computer the pupils tend to look a bit spotty and the hair line seems hard. These last two items may be characteristic of the subject, I realize.

I am much too lazy to attempt such a composition. Well done.
