Study of Ingres painting

This is my painting study from Ingres, the size is 10"x15" on illustration board, Acrylic.
Any suggestion?

Lam, did you take this photo with a flash? The highlights look a bit too bright. The hand seems to be the wrong proportion in regards to the face, in other words the hand looks too big. The edges need to be softened more. Most of your edges are sharp without any variation. The dress in particular could be softened a bit more as well as the contours of the face.

Thank you for your suggestions, this painting is too bright, ha ha, because it is my old painting and the first time to use acrylic.
