A young woman sits with her hair gathered under a light sienna turban, wearing a jade-green ao dai lined with orange over white pants. She is holding a little boy on her lap—dressed in a white shirt and red pants—who is playing with a cam quat that he is about to put in his mouth. The fruit comes from the dwarf cam quat tree standing to their right in a “Hue blue” pot.
