I came across this beautiful little watercolor at a "vintage sale" and fell in love with it. (The mat has water staining, but I plan to re-mat and re-frame it. The painting itself is in excellent condition untouched by the water.) It measures 13 5/8 inches by 9 1/8 inches. The painting is simply signed "Perrin." I've Googled, and despite there being several well-known watercolorists named Perrin, the dates, styles, and places don't seem to be good matches for the painter of this piece. A pencilled note on the back of the mat reads "Arapahoe Peak, Col. 400 - 23." Based on the old label on the back of the frame, I learned that it was framed in Bellingham, Washington, between 1894 and about 1907 or so. So, I'm guessing that it was painted during the same era. I'd love to identify the artist, and would appreciate any thoughts or ideas![/QUOTE]
