Discovering works created in Indochina, ignored or destined for destruction, has developed in Maître Trouvé a specialized expertise encouraged by an extremely buoyant market, contested at the international level. The quality of her assessments and sales is reflected in fine auction catalogs with detailed descriptive notes and particularly extensive historical developments.
Driven as much by passion as by rigor, Maître Trouvé is naturally led to uncover and appraise masterpieces previously forgotten in French and foreign collections. The knowledge acquired through experience is complemented by an extensive documentary collection of general works, most of them out of print, on the various Vietnamese art schools created under French impetus in the capitals of former Indochina.
Thus, Maître Trouvé recently had the pleasure of including in her prestige sales major works ranking among the masterpieces of Indochinese Art, such as a study for the fresco of the amphitheater of Hanoi University, an unpublished oil on canvas, the last of four existing studies created by Victor Tardieu, recipient of the Prix de l'Indochine in 1920, and founder of the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine between 1924 and 1925. This sale achieved a record price, reflecting the momentum of a rapidly expanding market.
It was also a bidding battle that she triggered around a full-length portrait of an elegant woman, a work painted in 1937 by Tran Binh Loc, an artist with a shortened destiny and laureate of the 1934 class of the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine.

Another record was the sale pronounced in 2020 for the painter Nguyen Van Ty, a student from the 1941 class of the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine, consisting of five panels in polychrome and gold lacquer with eggshell inlays on a black background created in 1942, an emblematic work of the renewal of Art in Vietnam.
Not only a specialist in Indochinese arts, Maître Trouvé is also authorized to conduct appraisals and inventories for sales, in the context of estates, guardianships, or established for insurance value.
