"My client likes Bronzino's portraits, and I am having fun trying to recapture that feeling in a more modern and relaxed pose."
If you are going to paint like Bronzino then you need to elongate his fingers. Realize that Bronzino was a Mannerist painter, and Mannerist painters are known for including elongated toes and fingers on their subjects. And I think that you should have left the boy in shorts.
