Ant,
For the composition of the drawing that you see, on a 20 x 16 inch canvas, the head would be approx. 7.3 inches.
As I look at the full photo image below, it seemed to tall for a head and shoulder painting. And when you include some space (not enough shown in the photo I think) above the top of the hat it becomes a little top heavy. I think if you were to go down to the waist and include the arms and hands the full hat would look more proper. My thinking was that there was enough of the hat left to be fully explained.
Thanks for the look, I too enjoy these compositional puzzles.
You can compare them below.
