First things first. This is truly extra! Even though I enjoy the entire painting the feet are what struck me. Strange I know but its not what some mite think. It is a Bouguereau thing. The feet reminded me of Bouguereau and the care he placed on the placement and the rendering of feet. It mite not have been your intention to position the feet such but I believe they do make a difference.
I love the delicate transitions in your skin tones. Very few are able to see these tones let alone acheave such transitions. Thumbs up. You have managed the landscape masterfully and you have taken the same care with the drapery.
I really like your idea and the innovation by adding the twig in the hand. I think it acheaves the intention.
I can really appreciate the time and your understanding of hue. It is breathtaking! Being that you have reached this level of understanding, it is good to hear that you will not stop here. I say this thinking of your comment in where you say that things are getting better.
My sincere wishes and best for you
