These historic projects are great fun. Your handling of the eyes is nice at a glance, but upon closer inspection, the eye on the left perhaps should be a bit smaller as the face turns away. The nose could be turned more towards that direction as well. The drawing layout appears to be a little weak, therefore.

The face may be turning towards the viewer's left a bit more than you show. That may be influenced also by the nose needing a little modeling on the viewer's left side around the nostril. It appears to be too small.

These kinds of problems preclude any serious appreciation of the painting qualities which may be apparent. It is so important to get the drawing right before painting.
