"A School Girl" is a classic and quietly poignant oil painting by famous Vietnamese Post-Modern painter, Nguyen Thanh Binh. Here an image of a beautiful, young Vietnamese school girl is painted in a simple manner, dressed in long white cotton dress and traditional Vietnamese hat that frames her face. The crisp white of her dress stands against a monochromatic background. In the typical manner of the artist, the figure is painted in a bright white, with the figure as well as the negative space if the painting working together to create an ethereal and harmonious composition

Nguyen Thanh Binh is famous for his paintings of individuals from both his native Vietnam that capture a specific emotional moment in time, either experienced alone or in groups. His inherent stylistic theme is to present the figures usually dressed in whites and soft colors against simple backgrounds, creating compositions that are peaceful, thoughtful, sophisticated and harmonious. Nguyen Thanh Binh is one of the most well-known Vietnamese painters working today and has exhibited in Museums and Galleries internationally.
