Nice painting. Very sensual. Terrific negative space in red. Deliberate spatial flattening of body remains robust because of the curves anyway. Face is exotic, very Byzantine, the long nose and the almond eyes. Very nice painting.
I also like the painting very much. The face is depicted do thoroughly that it attracts most attention. And the eyes are very expressive, it seems that she wants to tell you something important. Or she's waiting for you to say something important.
