Much better. Very smart with the link, I almost felt that I was in front of the painting.

I think that you can make the light more realistic on the face by adjusting the values according to the facts that reflected light will always be lower than the direct light from the light source.

I still think that the light on the lower parts of the face is to high in value.

You could make the adjustments a combination of heightening the light on the parts that are lit from above and lovering the values in the shade, maybe with some Green Earth glazing.

Maybe also blur the details in the shadow areas a bit, at the mouth especially.
