This is actually a reupload, since after some consideration I didn't feel as happy with the previous version of the painting as I originally thought I would judging from the base. I think I have now fixed the composition to look a little better and smoothed the face to look more mature and subtle. Added some shading and removed some distractions as well, and now here we are, and I hope this will stand better on its own! Nonetheless, previous version is included below.
