Vietnamese coffee is painted here in two settings: a steel phin filter dripping into a glass on a wooden table, and a street lined with small tables, low stools and cups. One scene is quiet and close to the table, the other open and busy along a lane. Either can be had as a hand-painted oil or as an archival canvas print.
A phin filter, a glass and a worn table
One painting stays at the table. A steel phin filter rests above a glass, dark coffee dripping down, with a few beans on pale, worn wood. Soft light falls across a cream wall behind it. The palette is small: steel grey, dark brown, pale wood and cream, which leaves the glass as the one dark note in the picture.
Lantern street, ochre walls and low stools
Another painting is a street scene and a landscape at once. Small tables and low stools crowd a lantern-hung street, with cups of coffee, conical hats and a green awning along ochre walls. Warm light runs down the lane toward riders in the haze. People here are part of the street, which is why the piece also belongs with the everyday views in Daily Life.
The lanterns hung over the lane link it to Lanterns, and the crowded tables and riders sit alongside the pieces in Street Scene.
Choosing between the table and the street
The table painting suits a pale wall, where the cream background and pale wood stay close to the paint around them. The street painting carries ochre, green and the glow of lantern light, so it holds a plain wall on its own. Hung side by side, the close drip and the long lane give a still corner and a busy one.
