This is a manip indeed

You did a great job on most of the face with the shadows and all, except the right cheek (right for the viewer). It's supposed to be a highlight, not shadow. See her shoulder and hair highlight.
And as you said, the hair needs work and looks like plastic atm.
You did really great with the cleaning, I love the new background.
*takes of his hat and bow* great works so far and now keep polishing, restoration takes time.
