Noted for her paintings of cats and dogs, artist Henriette Ronner-Knip lived surrounded by her favourite subjects who played and watched on as she worked.⠀

I love the colorful needlework on the stool mama cat is curled upon, keeping watch on her little ones. The geranium in the clay pot is pretty wonderful too. Found on Instagram.⠀

I love this - thanks for posting!
It's really a sweet, charming painting.
Each to his own, as they say, but how can you compare a painter's talent like this to "modern" art? Unbelievably detailed, life-like and simply awe inspiring. Wow.
