This is a very artistic rendering, Gleb. Something reminiscent of the 1920's. I think it's beautiful. Composition, tonality, curving arches and a statuesque model,...... what more could you ask for.

If there is anything to critique, it would be the tiny bits of crumbling plaster directly over her head. Very well executed.

Doug, thank you for encouraging comment. And I did not see those 'tiny bits of crumbling plaster directly over her head'. Fortunately, not so difficult to remove, as you have shown. As for composition, the original is 645 and it included right half of arch on background and both front pillars, but after some hesitation I cropped them out.
