Description: This is a color print after an original drawing of a young indigenous girl of about 3 looking directly at the viewer, the work signed in the print at lower left, and in ballpoint pen by hand at lower right, by the Canadian master artist NICHOLAS DE GRANDMAISON (1892-1978). The piece measures 11 3/4" by 9 1/2" inside the mat (17 1/2" by 13 1/2" as framed in classic oak, with decorative devices in each corner). The artist is considered an important contributor to Canadian art history, his pastel drawings of Native peoples bringing into five figures at auctions. De Grandmaison was born in Moscow to nobility. He was an officer in the Russian army in World War I and was captured by the Germans. During the time as a prisoner of war, he began to draw. With training in art in Paris and London, he immigrated to Canada where by 1923 he was in Winnipeg, exploring Manitoba for art subjects. Over the subsequent years he became renowned for his pastel portraits of Native peoples. He moved to Banff, Alberta in 1940 and in the later years of his life received recognition for his talents.
