Is that a Drow?
It looks like a drow to me, or more like a half-elf drow.
If it is not a drow, please disregard the following:
I would not expect an underworld elf to have a completely human shaped body. Similar; but not identical.
Some general characteristics of a drow (from R.A. Salvatore's works and AD&D):
They are the smallest of all elves; and the most delicately fashioned. Females are larger and more physically powerful (mentally too, and magically).
Average Height: 53 to 60 inches (male), 55 to 63 inches (female)
Average Weight: 80 to 100 lbs. (male), 90 to 110 lbs (female).
Skin: Black, with 'stone-like', i.e. marble, characteristics.
Eyes: red (most common), pink, violet, colorless (rare). The 'whites' are light grey, instead of white. Any of them can glow (w/ red glow) in the dark (infravision). Very almond shaped and slanted. Larger than human eyes, and more shallowly set in the face; evolved that way to gather more light.
Hair: White (most common), metallic silver, metallic pale gold (rare)
Bone structure in general is delicate; especially hands and fingers (which are also longer than human fingers). Elves are much more flexible than humans, so they have shallower joint sockets; which gives them a more 'bony' or knobby appearance at the joints.
Facial features are delicate as well, w/ high brow and cheekbones (both of which are prominent). Angular facial features are common.
Limbs tend to be longer in proportion to body than a human.
Elves have no canine teeth.
