Gorgeous. I've experimented with a technique like this for children's portraits, and I didn't succeed a fraction as well as you have here.

I particularly like her unsmiling sideways glance and the slight sense of jeopardy emphasized by that weird little doll, which removes any saccharine element from what is otherwise a beautiful drawing of a cute baby girl. I can certainly see why you've always liked that photo!
