The ink-and-gouache-on-silk painting was sold for HK$18.6 million at the ‘50th Anniversary Modern Evening Auction’ by Sotheby's Hong Kong.
The painting was accompanied by a certificate of authenticity prepared by the artist's son, Alain Le Kim. "Channelling the essential principles of Impressionism – creating scenes that were photographic, candid and momentary – Le Pho therefore offers a fleeting snapshot of the family, caught only in a moment of impermanence. An exquisite and captivating masterpiece of exceptional rarity, the present lot was executed in circa 1938 and is a testament to the heights of Vietnamese modern artistic innovations,” the Sotheby's introduction states.
Artworks by other Vietnamese celebrated painters were also under the hammer on the same auction were Les chrysanthèmes and Jeune femme en bleu dans un paysage by Vu Cao Dam, and Femmes et enfant au bord de la rivière by Mai Trung Thứ.
