Mai Trung Thứ

Jeune femme à la fleur (Young lady with a flower)

1954

Painted in delicate gouache on silk, Mai Trung Thứ's *Jeune femme à la fleur* presents a graceful young Vietnamese woman adorned with a flower, rendered in the artist's characteristically soft, lyrical palette. The luminous quality of the silk surface lends the composition an ethereal warmth, while the figure's serene expression reflects the quiet elegance that defines Thứ's work. The painting beautifully bridges Vietnamese tradition and French modernist influence, a hallmark of the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine master.
