Louis Bouché (1896-1969), an American painter of French ancestry, was successful as an artist and a businessman. In addition to easel painting, he painted murals and designed jewelry. A few years after this portrait was executed Bouché was commissioned to decorate the lounge of the Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Bouché attended the Art Students League in 1916, and his friendship with Bellows is likely to have begun at this time. (Mason)
