This seems important!

A small typo in the first paragraph where it says “The space is defined is by…”.
The description of the position of her right arm “like she is looking for something” is somewhat interpretive. To me it appeared that she was just resting her head on her hands.
A comma splice on the last sentence of the second paragraph and the first sentence of the third paragraph.
The last paragraph is good in terms of interpretation, but takes away from the objective task of the visual analysis.
I don’t know the rules of using 1st person in a visual analysis, but I think “we” should be replaced. Maybe say “As a viewer, one would expect…”
Otherwise, everything was very clear. I could visualize the descriptions very well 🙂
