Iakov, The model and the pose are quite interesting and I am sure many would say that you can stop here and not to touch a thing. I guess it all comes down to what it is you want out of this painting. If it is that you wish a honest critique than I will honestly try and suggest a few things. First, I personally like the value key but what ever key one works there is that balance of shadow and light. You have managed to control this transition between light and shadow and it works well but I think this painting needs more attention. I suggest for you to manage the lost and found edges the hard and soft edges. When you have the edges established correctly, for now the edges in many places have that cut out feeling, I believe then you will be able to see the form better.
Another, try to create the small forms like a sculptor would and when you have that then a flick of the brush here and there looks ok. When one places brush marks or glazez just because one sees them there then that is evident and does not make for a good painting.
I hope I was able to help
