A black and white portrait taken while working as Sir William Russell Flints muse in a summer dress enjoying a conversation at a cafe.
It was not until 1953 when Sir William was 73 years old that Cecilia Green arrived at the studio, and became a model for many of the paintings subsequently produced.
Her stunning Russian Jewish beauty was the perfect complimnt that Russell Flint had been waiting for, all these years.
She had been a ballerina, and her training came in particularly useful for the elegant poses she was able to hold for a considerable time.
Should you wish to explore the area in France that Sir William spent so much of his time; This holiday house in the Dordogne can provide
a beautiful experience for those who enjoy the countryside and wish to visit the many towns and villages of great character.
