I am not familiar with 99.9% of the masters' artwork. I just do my own. You did a beautiful job here. Is this compressed charcoal? How did you rub it, with a stump, chamois or hand?

Perhaps the edges of the wings are a little hard. Charcoal allows you to soften things so easily. These look a little like plaster of paris (Perhaps they were!) rather than feathers.

The highlight in the eyelids is a little too confined or too high contrast.

Nicely done!
