A wonderful oil on canvas portrait of a black cat with a white bib, the cat sits against a muted yellow and part red back ground, an arrogant stance with a humanlike mischievous grin very much in the manner of Henriette Ronner-Knip, Dutch/Belgian 1821-1909
Early 20th Century in age, housed in a period gilt and gesso frame, some losses and knocks. The canvas itself has a few minor abrasions, but is original and untouched

Ronner-Knip, an animal painter who was particularly well-known for her playful depictions of cats and dogs.
Her work was popular with her contemporaries, and the artist received numerous commissions to paint the lapdogs of the European aristocracy, including Marie Henriette of Austria (1836-1902) and Princess Marie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (1845-1912).
