Setup
I took the photo in a 6×6 meter room with natural light from the left and a softbox from the right front to light up the shadows a bit. Although a reflector might have done the trick as well
Postproduction
Unfortunately I flattened the master PSD by accident years ago, so I can´t show inbetween steps.
First off I cranked up the contrast in the midtones and did some minor skin touch up. To get this more artwork like look I almost overexposed her skin and intensified the colour of her hair and background. The lips were recoloured to match her hair. In the end I desaturated the fleece jacket so that the colour / warmth contrast stands out even more. Last thing to add was a vignette.
