Comment from Jean A Cormier
Well captured look of a little girl...this piece feels spontaneous and much like a detailed study one would do for a painting! What a unique little gal with a boat load of talent but with a sweetness I think she kept for a lifetime, that certain special look captured here ! jean

The dark background frames the figure perfectly. Great shading and texture. Expressive story-telling. Foreshadowing of arms is good. Light flesh tones are done with expertise.
