    Henriëtte Ronner-Knip (31 May 1821 – 28 February 1909) was a Dutch-Belgian artist chiefly in the Romantic style who is best known for her animal paintings; especially cats.

    In her later years, she had a house with a large garden, where she kept hunting dogs, cats and a parrot that she used as models. After observing them in her studio, she would make paper sculptures in the desired poses and set them together with props, such as furniture and fabrics.

    Her son Alfred and daughters Alice and Emma also became artists. She often exhibited with them.

      Was she hunting them for sport? (/s)
