Carlos, this is a very well executed work.

I was immediately struck by its balance: the scale, placement and management of colour is very well planned, and immediately conveys a feeling of elegance.

I have two remarks, one by the painter and one by the woman. As a painter, I find the neck a bit weird, not as well explained as the head.
As a woman I would like to take a small brush and comb the eyebrows upwards. Do you know we spend ages in plucking, brushing, shaping the eyebrows? Her eyebrows look like they go down instead of going up, which slightly change her expression, or maybe that's just the way she looks, in this case just forget about this comment.

Many compliments, I am sure she will be very happy with this painting muy hermoso
