"Portrait of Vallier" is a 1906 oil painting by Paul Cézanne, one of the most celebrated Post-Impressionist artists. The portrait, depicting the artist's friend and model, Vallier, is known for its bold brushstrokes and simplification of form. Vallier's face, with his prominent hat, beard and gaze, emerges from a dark background, creating a striking contrast. This portrait is a testament to Cézanne's exploration of the human form and his innovative approach to color and composition.
