What a gaze! An mysterious angle with the hand reaching out, bony and pale, like that of a creature from another world... I like the sense of mystery, though she doesn't exactly seem scared, which is another interesting touch. Bit like Mona Lisa's mysterious smile. You wonder what she's really looking at a bit extra since her expression doesn't match the one you'd expect her to have...
Smooth work, and nice details; the billowing hair in particular.
