About the Item

Title: "Motherly Watch" - Cats and Kittens by Henriette Ronner (1894) Description: "Motherly Watch" is an exquisite print from the "Cats and Kittens" series by Henriette Ronner, published by Cassell and Company, Limited in London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1894. In the work it is plate nr 7 titled 'Misschief'. In this captivating composition, a mother cat watches over her playful kittens, who are comfortably nestled in an ornate basket. The scene exudes warmth and comfort, a typical reflection of Henriette Ronner-Knip's ability to capture the loving interactions and playful behaviors of cats. Ronner-Knip, a highly regarded Dutch-Belgian artist, was famous for her delicate and emotive portrayals of felines, bringing their personalities to life with great attention to detail. This artwork is rendered through the photogravure process, a technique that excels at reproducing fine details and soft gradations of tone, which are crucial to Ronner's work. The print is presented on China wove paper, known for its smooth, high-quality surface that provides an elegant backdrop for the nuanced textures of the artwork, enhancing the overall beauty of the piece. "Motherly Watch" is a perfect addition to a collection of fine animal art, showcasing the signature charm of Henriette Ronner-Knip's work. It brings to life the warmth and affection between a mother cat and her kittens, making it an ideal piece for art lovers and admirers of feline grace and character.
