The outstanding peak of Nguyen Phan Chanh's artistic legacy is the work Playing
O An Quan. The silk painting was born in 1930, harmonizing the two East-West
flows.
In particular, the painting "Playing O an Quan" was painted on an ivory white silk
background. Here we see the two colors brown and black Nguyen Phan Chanh
surprised viewers. On a smooth silk background, the artist portrayed four children
attentively playing a folk game in a very natural way. The painting brings a classic,
calm feeling, without any disturbance because the character is built in a very solid
rectangle.
The portrait and costume characteristics demonstrate the artist's meticulous
observation of each age of children in order to fully exploit the purity, innocence,
and innocence of children in rural Vietnam.
