Hi Richard....

LOVE this one! The fabrics look wonderful and the skin tones look great. I love the work you did on her hands!

hehee...i do see that similarity too!....but i hesitate to describe your look as coquettish...lol..very nice portrait, amazing how connected we can feel when we paint someone we love, as opposed to a commissioned portrait of someone we dont know...
