Aguttes auction house said: “Having settled in France for a few years, Vietnamese artist Le Pho has captured the quintessence of Western culture that he absorbed in order to integrate into the traditions of the Far East. The beauty of the young girl in the painting exudes a sweet, graceful reminiscent of the sophistication of the portraits of women by 16th-century artists combining with the distinctive characteristics of the Far East.

The young girl's face, her complexion, and her hair accentuate Asian beauty. Peony makes connections between both cultures. The ao dai and turban of Tonkin women evokes the painter's nostalgia for his homeland. With a particularly proficient technique and a perfect combination, Le Pho has completed a masterpiece as his talent is at its peak ”.
