Also known as
Lê Phổ
Lê Phổ (1907–2001), commonly presented without diacritics as Le Pho, was a Vietnamese painter associated with the School of Paris. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Hanoi from 1925 to 1930, continued his training in Paris under Victor Tardieu, and later taught at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine in Hanoi. Public biographical sources particularly associate his art with women, flowers, mothers and children, and figures wearing the Vietnamese áo dài. These subjects connect Vietnamese cultural imagery with the international setting in which his career developed. Collectors most often encounter his name through paintings and works on paper, although auction databases may place attributed material in several broader categories. Because the collected institutional biography is limited, individual works should be assessed through their medium, date, provenance, physical characteristics, signatures or inscriptions, and documented attribution rather than through the artist name alone.

Common works and media
Auction and biographical sources most clearly support paintings and works on paper, with recurring subjects including women, flowers, mothers and children, and Vietnamese women wearing áo dài. Appraisily's matched auction data also places records in broader groups for prints, sculpture or mixed media, decorative art, and editions, but those less-specific classifications require object-level verification. For a print or edition, record the technique, edition size and number, signature, inscriptions, paper, margins, and condition. For a painting, document the support, dimensions, surface, frame, restoration, provenance, date, and attribution evidence.
Market and appraisal context
Le Pho has a substantial public-auction footprint in Appraisily's matched records, but aggregate figures should be treated as orientation rather than a valuation. A useful comparison should align the work's medium, dimensions, date or career period, subject, condition, restoration history, provenance, signature or inscriptions, and attribution confidence. Edition information matters when the object is a print or another multiple. Exhibition history and catalogue references may also help distinguish otherwise similar works. Reported auction results can differ in their treatment of buyer's premiums and fees, while private sales and incomplete feeds may not appear at all. Any appraisal should therefore use verified, closely comparable lots and inspect the underlying records instead of relying on a page-wide median or observed price range.
