Art historian Millard Meiss was the first to distinguish this artist from his contemporary colleague Jacquemart de Hesdin.In January 1398, a painter, named Jean de Holland, accused them of stealing pigments and models from his box.De Holland was finally killed and the two painters took refuge in the Abbey of Montierneuf at Poitiers where they were afforded asylum.[8] Jean Le Noir painted the calendar leafs for the Duke's Petit Heures, which Pseudo-Jacquemart may have completed.[11] He completed an Annunciation for the Book of hours for the use of Bourges, c. 1405–10, held at the British Library,[12][13] and two miniatures for the Psalter for use in Evereux, c. 1390–1405: a jester (f.44r) and Office of the Dead (f.131r).
