“Painting on silk is considered to be a traditionally Chinese art form, although Chanh argued it ‘expressed the national (Vietnamese) character to the highest degree’ and goes on to talk about the enthusiastic reception given to his and other artists in their exhibition in Hanoi, 1954-1955, where opinion stated that the paintings were ‘neither Chinese, Japanese or French.‘ (i.e. that they were distinctively Vietnamese).”

At Sunnyside - Where Truth and Beauty Meet 
Despite the deceptive simplicity of presentation, one can practically feel in one’s own legs and feet the strain of navigating the steep, smooth and probably slick bridge. So expressive.
Also, I see depicted a society in which the woman is sometimes free to assume the forwardmost family position, exploring a little ahead in serenity while her partner follows, this time, with their children.
Altogether, the painting might be titled “A Healthy Balance”
