About the Artwork
Photographed in northern Vietnam during the 1930s, this ceremonial portrait reveals a moment of poised stillness before movement. The young dancers, adorned in elaborate embroidered robes and regal headdresses, form a solemn line—each holding a sacred white cloth used in traditional choreography. The backdrop suggests a ritual or festival context, with symbolic elements echoing indigenous spiritual beliefs. This image preserves the artistic discipline and quiet dignity of Vietnamese folk performance traditions in a time of colonial transition.
