That's a beautiful face. I love the way the marble looks like I could touch it and get the mmmarble feel.
However, the wall on the left retreats with no perspective, making me feel as if I need to fix it. And those toes! What the hell, girl.
The top of the wall on the left is peaked, like the roof of a house. That's why it looks odd. Look carefully and you can see a bit of the far side. The girl's toes look a bit large because Godward sometimes used a male model for the hand and foot studies, which he most likely did for this painting.
