Catherine, I love seeing your atelier studies on the Forum....
I'm not sure what you'd get out of developing this further, without your model.
I'm reading Harold Speed again, and he has a beautiful chapter on the rhythm created by "unity and variety" in a piece. The one thing that I think you could improve sans model is the unity of tone: the lightest highlights are in your halftones and shadows, which is breaking up your tonal symphony. I think if you knock them back, you've got a great study of a head.
