Embroidery Class (1958)

- Artist: Trần Đông Lương
- Dimensions: 55 x 73 cm
- Materials: Watercolor

- For Tran Dong Luong, women are an endless inspiration. In particular, the women subjects in his works always possess a very distinct outlook and feeling that are full of grace, dignity, tenderness but also somewhat uptight of urban women. ‘Embroidery class’ is more than a painting of young women, this highlights not only the classic beauty of women in Hanoi back in the days but also explores Vietnamese traditions and everyday working life.

Trần Đông Lương (1925-1993)

- Born in 1925, originally from Son Tay.

- He was one of 22 painters who studied in the resistance course at the Vietnam Fine Arts School in Viet Bac. When the Fine Arts Association was founded in 1957, he was the first member.
