I'm not sure, that I can express myself in English, which is not my native language, and this needs some very nuanced control over tiniest shades of meaning, but I'll try nevertheless, just for fun of it at least.
The original girl is more open, more independent and mindless. The interpretation's girl is more self-controlled, assertive and not interested really, just going throw all those movements of regular communication between people. Maybe it's just me, but what I really value on such occasions is mindlessness, the ability of people to not mind themselves, to let their selves to dissolve in the environment. I cannot keep tears in my eyes sometimes when I watch some entertainer playing Chopin or Paganini, because what I see in their movements is complete dissolution of a person in a piece of music, in a piece of art and skill. An entertainer just do what they do with their full attention on it, and with all their motivation focused on it. There is nothing here for them, just them and their actions.
There is not a single thought devoted to how people around me would react to what I do and how I do that. I just do what I do and I do not care about people around me, and if it somehow makes people happy... I don't care really. I mean I know that afterwards I'd feel a pride of myself, but just for now I don't really care.
I know this feeling. I like to sing, and I'm good at it (above average), and I know what it feels like to dissolve into the song and to let song to rule. I play piano and I know what it is like to dissolve into the piece I'm playing, to stop myself from existing, to let music to take the lead. And the original painting make me believe that the girl is in this state of mind. I do not know the history or the remaining of the story, I do not know if she get into this state for a second, of she never leaves it (it may be a sad experience, don't you think?), but somehow I know that right now she is right in this state. I want to watch this her moment for an eternity.
Thinking about it, I'd confess that Interpretation Girl does trigger the same, but on a smaller scale. I feel how my mind is trying to find a coherent state to her gaze, but this feeling stops in tens of microseconds, not hundreds of them.
edit: want->watch. Stupid mistake ruining the meaning of the sentence.
