Henriette Ronner Knip (1821–1909) was the undisputed queen of cat painting in 19th-century Europe — and we mean that as the highest possible compliment. The Dutch-Belgian artist spent her career painting cats with a warmth, wit, and meticulous observation that made her the most sought-after animal painter of her day. Her feline subjects lounge on velvet cushions, play with kittens, investigate fireplaces, and generally conduct themselves with the serene self-importance that cats have always maintained. In counted cross stitch, Ronner Knip's cosy domestic interiors and beautifully observed cats translate into designs that are deeply charming and enormously satisfying to stitch.
