Lena Rothman is a Mid-west artist trained in the Classical Realist and Dutch Flemish techniques. After traveling to Romania to research her ancestry a passion for the people and culture grew. She returned there in 2004 to spend the summer painting. Cristina became a dear friend, model and interpreter. She brought Rothman to the peasants who won her heart. In the painting Cristina is wearing a Romanian folkdance costume sitting in her fathers country cottage.
