Louis Vallée (Dutch c. 1620-1653) Portrait of a gentleman in a black hat and suit, a glove in his right hand Oil on canvas Signed and dated 1651 to centre of right edge 133 x 111.5cm (52¼ x 43¾ in.) Provenance: Boussod Valadin et Cie, Paris Sale, New York, Glaennzer Bankruptcy, where sold for $3,300 The collection of Emma Rockefeller McAlpine Sale, The American Art Association, New York, 1 November 1935 Literature: Les Arts, No.112,1911, p.16 Cicerone 14, 1922, p.313 Duits Quarterly, Vol 1, No. 4, Summer 1964, p.14-16, ill. p.15 Thought to have been of French origin, the only document which is currently known to make specific reference to Vallée is the register which records his burial in Amsterdams Oude Kerk on 28 May 1653. According to the register Vallée had been living in the Warmoesstraat in Amsterdam. There are few works attributed to the artist, but he appears to have been most active between 1646 and 1652. Of those works which are known, the majority are history paintings or portraits and similarities to the work of Amsterdam painter Jacob Backer (1608-1651) have led to the speculative suggestion that Vallée may have been his student.
