I can appreciate the difficulty of this shot, and it's commendable that you took on a challenging subject. And yet, it's noisy. If that's your camera's rendition of ISO 400, f/4.7, 1/60s then it was worth venturing a shot at ISO 200, f/4.7, 1/30th. True, you would need your subject to remain relatively still--either by asking them to, or shooting until they stilled naturally.

 

I would also consider eliminating the hard nose-shadow from the left side of her face by moving the partially-hidden candle to the right, and trying to separate her hair from the background somehow--possibly by utilizing the window we can see faintly behind her.
