PROVENANCE
Collection particulière, Paris

Portraits of women and girls occupy a prominent place in Aymé’s work. The light lines depicting this enchanting portrait illustrate the poetry and tenderness of her style. Like a Byzantine icon, the golden background frames the child’s face with a radiant halo: further evidence of the meeting between traditional Western art and Vietnamese painting.
