Jan,
Although I agree with Ilaria on the points she has made, I also could be quite satisfied with this portrait as it is. For one thing, it is very solid in its proportions and you've recorded the forms with a convincing shorthand of brushstrokes, as if you were accustomed to taking notes very fast and accurately. The other reason I like it is that the head was conceived along with the background, or space around it, as one thing, and the head is now in the proces of emerging from the flatness of the ground. True, you could go further, but it works as is because it is a solid foundation.
