A wonderfully interesting character, painted masterfully with an equally wonderful moodiness and mystery about him, owing to the unusual lighting source (both direction and intensity). In somewhat paradoxical contrast, the shadow areas in the shirt fabric are beautifully luminous.

The one thing I'd mention just in passing, most notable after you posted the close-up, is the quite substantial difference in relative size of the ears. Maybe there's an explanation for that, but you might want to have a second look at it.

Very accomplished.
