In 2015, Dang Tien, a critic, wrote me that he had just found a painting of the Perfume river by Bauchaud, a French artist, in 1902. The beautiful painting vividly depicted women from the market waiting to get on the boat by the Perfume river. The painting later appeared on the cover of the special issue of the Song Huong Magazine (Perfume River Magazine) in March 2015.

Gaston Roullet (1847-1925) was the first French painter to arrive in Indochina. Roullet sailed from the port of Toulon on August 20, 1885, on board the ship La Shamrock of the French Navy. After 5 weeks, the ship reached Saigon. Despite only stopping here a few days to prepare to go north and receive his assignment, it was from here that Roullet really started his journey with his painting in Indochina.
