Suddenly, the season reminds me of the painting “the girl by the lily” of painter To Ngoc Van. The painting is simple, refined and devotional. The girl in the painting is a typical image of Hanoian girls with timid and mysterious characteristics. Why did the painter name the painting with lily flower? More importantly, the beauty of that painting, the girl as well as the flower can last through the time.
