Romanian painter Vasile Pop Negreșteanu made official portraits in the late 1980s. In 1989 he painted Elena Ceaușescu holding a rose and a book, flanked by pioneers and folk-costumed figures. A second 1989 print called “Omagiu” shows the same sitter with his signature in the corner.
Both works were ordered by political groups to mark her 70th birthday. To see the floral portrait up close, tap “Portret Elena Ceaușescu, ulei pe pânză, 1989.”
