When you say you want to add a garden scene "and something on the left and right", I wonder. I think other "somethings" could distract from the figure, but there is an even more serious risk.

I know some artists on this forum are successful at adding background and other items that are not in the original source material, but unless you are very accomplished, I wouldn't recommend it. Getting the lighting and angle right may be just about impossible.

It seems like her skirt is lifted too much in front. It might be difficult to "re-arrange" the fabric to cover her legs a bit more and still be able to get the folds right.

Also, does the client like the pouty expression?
