IDA MARIE PERRAULT
Cranes.

Color woodcut. 347x282 mm; 13 3/4x11 1/4 inches, full margins. Titled and numbered 13/100 and signed by the artist's brother, Raoul Perrault, in pencil, lower margin. Printed by the artist's brother. A superb impression with strong colors.

Perrault (1872-1929) studied at the Detroit School of Art and in Paris and Brussels. She probably learned the white-line color woodcut process in Provincetown or from other Michigan artists who had worked there, such as Ada Gilmore or Hope Vorhees Pfeiffer. Her brother, Raoul, printed and signed all of her woodcuts.
