A spectacular and elaborate silk painting by Vietnamese modern master Le Pho, who stands as one of the most highly sought after Southeast Asian artists today.  Family Life epitomizes Le Pho's skill and his vivid sense of imagination, offering the viewer a nostalgic glimpse into an idyllic existence.  What truly sets this masterpiece apart is its magnificent detailing: the minutia is executed to a level of intricacy seldom found in his oeuvre.  The painstakingly universally understood emblem of beauty, highlighting familial bliss that rejoices the foundations of human life.

黎譜所作的絹本傑作 《家庭生活》展現黎氏精湛畫藝及生動想像, 進而緬懷回憶田園風光。其脫穎而出之處乃在於絲絲入扣的細節描繪, 如此精緻的細節處理在黎氏芸芸作品中並不多見。背景細節繁複, 層疊包圍畫作的焦點: 母子, 藝術家的經典主題。母子的意象純潔神聖, 為普世之美的象徵, 突顯家庭幸福, 歌頌人生本質。
