Mike, she is quite stunning!
Thank you for explaining the approach to the technical side of a good photo. I still need some lessons in how to operate my camera. I tried to take a accurate value and hue of a recent Bouguereau copy and still did not get it. True I did not have good lighting but I hope to change these issues soon.
As for the cheek it is catching light but it is a rim lit pose. I do not think it is to much. In the outside pose, excellent face shot, her face is facing the viewer more than in the inside pose. Slight difference but what a difference it makes. I would use the outside pose for the inside lighting, if that makes any sense. The outside face angle combined with the inside pose would make for an excellent portrait.
Now as for the background now that I had a chance to think and look more hmm? The drapery the gold frills I like even the angle but the straight dark spears at her head I do not like much. The window would go as well. To distracting, to bright just does not fit.
