Very nice the way you handled a straightforward, simple pose...your portrait looks fresh and fluid. Fantastic background, adds an elegant/formal touch to the whole concept of youth, two things that are not usually known to hang out together. Congratulations!
What was the fabric of the Russian cloth? I once used jute for a support and was very happy with the result although the preparation was laborious -- several layers of rabbit skin glue and don't remember how many layers of oil modified primer. The canvas weighed about 47 kilograms after that (without the stretcher).
I will toast to your painting.
