Thank you all for comments and the referral back to the photo and sketch.
There I had been warned about the placement of the figure in the back. I actually tried him in a number of positions and eliminated him in one version. The decision to keep him where he is has to do with the "L" of light (standing figure to sitter's leg) as a basic pattern which I think works quite nicely.
This does not negate the need for care. I shall review the matter in the morning with a fresh eye.
