Josef,

This is quite beautiful -- in tone, line and mass. I get a sense of her sense of humor, and of her essence at the moment you drew her. Was this done from life? If so, you might move it to the "life session" category; although I do like to see the drawing category paid attention to as well.

I especially like how you used both mass and line in the treatment of her hair.

You've told a lot with this story.

One of Karin Wells' posts has me thinking more about composition in my own work. You might do the same even for one-day studies. Your subject is a little cramped on the page (if this image is not cropped). It would be nice to have more head room and more space for her gaze to move into.
