I didn't see your other post when I posted the sugar bowl. Shall I wait until tomorrow to do this without the sheet at about the same time? Obviously an hour made a difference.
However, I do have a question. What difference does it make if there is a sheet there or not? I realize that the sheet reflects light and so on, but who is to say it couldn't be a white couch etc.? For that matter, the two chairs that I used to sit the statue on were actually all white, (and the carpet in my son's room is white also) but it made for a busy picture so I just threw the sheet there to make it simple.

What I am trying to do is eliminate all influences of light except that which comes through the window.
Obviously the room will, because of whatever reflective quality it has, affect the shadow side of the subject. This is what I'm trying to find out. If we can establish the base known attributes, such as strength of the light source, and amount of ambient light (shadow quality), then we can devise a plan to modify either of those factors if need be.
With the white sheet being so near and so prevalent in the background, the outcome is altered substantially. We may at some point bring something like this to bear, but first I would like to understand our two basic components, namely, the lit side and the shadow side, without influence.
And tomorrow is just fine, don't ever feel like you have to rush.

Macro vs. Micro
I have a theory about this sort of work. It has been my observation that most people who have difficulty getting good photo reference use the

Mary,
Can you give me a sense of how big your statue is, height and width? Also your sugar bowl, roughly.

Yes, the statue is approximately 1.5' tall and the base is 7"x8.5", (and weighs as much as I do) and the sugar bowl is a little over 3 inches.

Mike, sorry I didn't get this done over the weekend, it was SO overcast I just didn't think it was a good time to do it.
I took all of these in the same spots as before, at 11:15.
The first of each in the dining room, the second of each in the bedroom.
