This artwork depicts a stirring and colorful rural landscape scene, with small cottages, a winding path, and several trees which are rendered in a highly Impressionistic style, reminiscent of Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890.) The sky above is painted in an ethereal and emotional manner, likening to Van Gogh's famed painting, The Starry Night (1889.) Signed: "Hoang Trong Tien" in the lower right corner.
