Agree with all comments, except maybe the focus - I'm not big on focus, but especially with posthumous.

wish dad was more in focus. the lighting in the room is great, but you've also blown some of the highlights on his forehead and cheek.

A perfect setting. As mysterious it is, I am well placed. I see the opening to the hall, the door to the bedroom. He is in a public living room or foyer. He is reflecting a painting he doesn't even understand. I am amazed and impressed at just how much story you've packed into a single image.

Lighting and composition are good.
Focus, however, seems a little off.
good luck

Although Dad is not quite in focus, this is a very interesting photo that makes me want to continue looking. The composition and emotive are very strong here. 7.

Great idea! If you truly wish to recapitulate the painting though, echo the softness of the light as well. Also, your verticals on the left aren't vertical.

I like the balance of light, think focus on dad could be a little bit sharper
