The focal point of the painting is the bustling old street, flanked by colorful "Khu tập thể" apartment complexes on both sides. These complexes feature traditional architecture, and some apartments even have "chuồng cọp" (tiger cage) additions—a unique sight that showcases the resourcefulness of the residents in expanding their living spaces.
The street itself is a lively mix of daily life activities. Small street vendors occupy the ground level, their wares displayed under porch roofs. Clothes hang above, gently swaying in the evening breeze as they dry. The street is adorned with a network of electricity cables, connecting the apartment complexes and weaving a complex web above the scene.
Amidst this vibrant setting, women wearing the iconic "nón lá" (cone hats) gracefully traverse the street. One can be seen riding a bicycle, her hat adding a touch of elegance to her journey. Another woman carries a pole balanced on her shoulder, using two hangers to transport food for sale—a testament to the industriousness and resourcefulness of the people living in this vibrant neighborhood.
Through the skillful use of acrylic paints, Giap Son captures the warmth and tranquility of the fading light, juxtaposed against the energetic atmosphere of the old quarter. "Hoàng hôn trên phố cũ" invites viewers to immerse themselves in the unique charm and cultural richness of Hanoi's historic streets at the magical hour of sunset.
