Thomasin,

I liked this instantly the moment I saw it on your site. The modelling of the head is exquisite, as usual, the astute use of blues/cool greys in the flesh tones is also very masterful. The cropping of the figure in the way that you did adds to the feeling of fleeting movement and the repetition of certain lines and edges remind me of some of Velazquez mature pieces wherein he also resorted to this device to suggest ephimeral movement.
Such maturity for an earlier work! I
