Yeah, I thought it was a scary shadow on the floor at first as well. Also, I feel the picture on the wall doesn't fit with the period - portraits wouldn't be that informal, and the placing of the 'painted' figure within the composition isn't good - top of head too close to frame. And maybe arrange the chairs in the same way as in the picture, so the viewer will make the connection? I (duh!) didn't realise that it was the same room etc. in the painted picture, until I looked at it critically. Ball feet on the globe - would you consider booleaning them so they look like china wheels rather than balls? What a bunch of negative stuff! Very nice image, and very atmospheric :o)
