📐 Size: 11 x 14 cm (approximately 4.4 x 5.5 inches)

🧵 Medium: Silk thread on premium fabric, fully hand-embroidered

With her back to the viewer and determination stitched into every detail, this rural woman becomes a symbol of quiet strength. Bent forward slightly under the weight of woven baskets, she wades through shallow waters — perhaps a riverbank or flooded field — her áo bà ba and nón lá rendered in soft silk threads with lifelike grace.

🍃 The emerald-green fabric of her blouse flows naturally, contrasting against the tightly embroidered rattan textures of the two baskets she carries. Each basket is detailed with intricate crosshatching in earthy browns and golds, giving the piece dimensional depth and tactile realism.

👣 Her presence feels grounded — the feet submerged in subtle brown ripples, embroidered in horizontal threads that suggest movement across water. The conical hat, stitched with precision in creamy beige threads, is tilted just enough to create a sense of quiet resolve and daily purpose.

This is more than a portrait — it is a tribute to generations of rural Vietnamese women whose strength, grace, and labor are part of the cultural landscape.
