"Portrait de Vallier" is one of the final paintings by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne. Created in the latter part of his life, this work is part of a series of portraits that Cézanne painted of his gardener, Vallier, who worked at the artist's estate, the Jas de Bouffan, near Aix-en-Provence. The painting is notable for its departure from the artist's earlier, more structured approach to portraiture, showcasing a looser, more abstract style that would later influence the development of Cubism and modern art.

The portrait is characterized by its use of color and brushwork to convey the essence of the sitter rather than a detailed, realistic depiction. Cézanne's application of paint in layered, complex brushstrokes creates a sense of depth and solidity, while the subdued palette reflects the introspective nature of the work. The composition is anchored by the figure of Vallier, who is typically depicted seated, surrounded by the verdant landscape of the Provençal countryside, which was a recurrent theme in Cézanne's oeuvre.

"Portrait de Vallier" is often discussed in the context of Cézanne's exploration of form and his gradual movement toward abstraction. The painting exemplifies the artist's mature style, where the interplay of geometric shapes and the modulation of color take precedence over the traditional representation of the subject. This approach marks a significant contribution to the narrative of art history, as Cézanne's work bridged the gap between Impressionism and the avant-garde movements of the 20th century.

The exact date of "Portrait de Vallier" is uncertain, but it is believed to have been painted in the early 1900s, before Cézanne's death in 1906. The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered one of the important works in Cézanne's late period. It has been exhibited in various galleries and museums around the world and continues to be a subject of study for its artistic and historical significance.
