The village painting depicts a woman from a fishing village with the rustic beauty of a conical hat, her hands mending each mesh of the net - a symbol of the diligence of Vietnamese women. The image of a boy in the painting - holding an oar as if silently watching the hard work of his mother - a sacred symbol of maternal love in the fishing village. That scene creates a unique and interesting blend of reality and fantasy, telling the story of everyday life with the genuine and humane beauty of a woman from a fishing village.
