Hanna,
Realizing that you're well along into this, I'm nonetheless wondering about what your "idea" or "theme" of the picture is. The woman is in an apparently lighted room, holding a candle at a window through which we see quite a bit of daylight (in the reference photo -- and even if as in the painting, the outdoors light is subdued, wouldn't an interior candle's light merely reflect in the window's glass?) I'm just not quite sure what it is that this woman is doing. I'm not sure of the "why" of this pose and composition.
