In the fast-paced modernisation of Vietnam, the distinctive "tube houses" of Hanoi's old quarters stand as a lasting testament to a bygone era. Tran Luu Hau grew up in Hanoi and the city's busy streets had long served as a source of inspiration for him. He first started painting this particular Hanoi Ancient Street series in the mid-1990s, depicting the densely stacked low tenements and emphasising their charm through his dramatic brushwork.

Tran Luu Hau especially favoured the use of white and red in his Hanoi street paintings, and these two colours remain a constant throughout the series. The present work is unusual in his more restrained use of red, gently contouring the white buildings with a subtle rose blush, achieved through blending white and red and contrasting with the olive green and pale blue accents. His thoughtful palette brings a cohesive harmony to the overall deconstructed perspective of the composition.
