"To Ngoc Van (1906 – 1954) has been considered as the first generation of Vietnamese painters in the oil painting.
He graduated at the Indochinese Fine Art College, which established by French in 1925 and was a unique art college in Indochina at that time.... Most of his paintings present Vietnamese ladies with traditional dresses or famous sceneries of North Western Vietnam.
One of the most popular of his paintings is Thieu nu ben hoa hue which presents a Vietnamese delicate lady...sitting beside a tuberose vase."
From Zhangpro's Blog, which has many interesting sections on Vietnamese life, culture, art and many other facets.
'Dung was born in Hanoi in 1959. He graduated from Hanoi College of Industrial Fine Arts in 1984. From 1989 until 1992 he was an official painter at the Vietnam Stamp Company, where he could exercise his talent for colour and precision. Working now as an independent artist, he has taken part in several exhibitions in Vietnam, including solo exhibitions in Ho Chi Minh City in 2004 and 2005.'

This artist has several mediums he uses. I have chosen just one image, but there are many interesting works on his website.
