Alex, this is lovely! Your paintwork is really fresh and lively, and consistent throughout the whole painting. Very fresh and appealing, and such a good composition, especially since you put it together from different photographs. I really like the still-life composition on the table and the interest of the book whose corner is hanging over the edge of the table (for me that is the focal point). It makes an interesting idea where the figures are not the centre of the painting, but framing the still-life, which seems to be what the painting's interest is. Perhaps I am overstepping the my boundaries, but in a similar painting you could even make the figures less substantial - just suggestions of figures.
You have such good tones on the walls, and very good feeling of flickering light.
