Subtly looking up and right, while the head is tilted left is bullshit! This pose is driving me nuts.
Sargent too stronk for me. I think Its impossible at my current level to get that face right using the hard way( which is the only way im going to do this). The fact that I kept making it worse over the hours made me break inside.
How can I get the near identical likeness, but not fall into details and fuck up the structure?
I tried the painterly way, but thats even harder, I got caught up on values and colors aswell.

Heres the face in the painting.

Abandoned this. Currently trying to get the likeness right before getting into colors.

Sketches.
