Henriette Ronner-Knip (Amsterdam 1821-Brussels 1909)

Knip as a painter of animals always paid great attention to the individual characters and emotions of animals: youthful, boisterous, wild, caring, nurturing or curious. She often portrayed them lying on a rug against a subtle backdrop of wallpaper. She also painted the animals in the midst of beautiful, richly decorated interiors with thick rugs, antique furniture, books, chests and other objects. Although she mainly painted realistically at the beginning of her long career, she underwent an unmistakable development in the direction of Impressionism during her career.
