Recovering figure from the painting

Medieval art inspires me and so I decided to make copy or interpretation of this painting (which depicts Saint Catherine). I started with recovering the figure. It turned out more difficult than I expected. I would like to get your feedback.

Hey Ieva Paleja,
I think you did a pretty good job, actually, I think you did too good a job.
Medieval art is not known for it's gesture and is pretty stiff when it comes to the poses. I think your pose has more gesture than I think the original has. It's good to see all that gesture drawing is stuck in your brain :)
Art from this time also doesn't use perspective or proportions the way we do. Again, I think yours is probably better than the original in that regard. Just look at that right arm and the size of those hands.
This is a good exercise though, keep it up :)

Thank you very much Steve! I am glad to hear that my pose is good. :) Yes, I noticed that the position of the right hand is confusing. And it's very interesting to see your version of this pose.
