There is a wonderful sense of depth here that a lot of other traditional painters cannot accomplish. I think the hair was especially well done, considering that it's sort of a tertiary item in the composition. I focus on the hair because it has depth to it; it appears to be closer in the foreground than other elements, yet we instinctively look past it towards the figure's eyes.

What is also well-done is the impression of the glass on her bottom lip. This is something many artists would overlook, but you've capture this image quite well.

Color-wise, it's very warm but is slightly offset by the tone of the olives, which adds some nice contrast that makes the image vibrate a bit more than it would otherwise.
