Street scenes show daily Vietnamese life in a rich, warm palette. Each painting is built from many thin layers of natural lacquer, often with gold leaf and eggshell, then polished by hand to bring out the glow of old walls, tiled roofs and evening light. A lacquer street painting is a good choice for anyone who loves Hanoi's Old Quarter or remembers a trip to Vietnam.
