No part of this painting is finished yet (though the armchair is almost done). Regarding the cabinet, the more I look the sketch, the less I'm inclined to include it in the composition of the final painting.
I think I'll put the drapery of some sort (or curtain) behind the sitter, instead.

A completed painting...
The colors are, as they always are, a bit off. The original background is a tad warmer and more neutral.

Bravo! Valentino, you aquitted yourself very well with this piece. I think you solved all your initial issues with panache. Those reds are delicious.
I think your client will be very pleased.

Thank you.
The portrait has not yet been unveiled as I have just delivered the piece.
Here are some closeups...
The face and the right hand look closer to the original painting on my PC monitor than the left hand - which has a cooler, almost blueish cast - due to the fact that these images are not part of the same photo, but a different shots.

Btw, those reds look waay better on the painting.
They lean more towards crimson than red-orange. I have rendered those areas with several layers of alizarin glazed over initial vermillion underpainting.
