Watching the prey 

Henriëtte Ronner-Knip, a Dutch painter known for her depictions of animals, particularly cats, created "Watching the Prey." This charming painting showcases three felines, a black and white cat, a black cat, and a tabby cat, engaged in a playful moment, with the tabby seemingly watching over the other two as they stalk their prey. Ronner-Knip captured the innocence and mischief of these animals, inviting viewers to share in their playful pursuit. Her meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayal of their fur and postures evoke a sense of life and movement. This painting is a testament to Ronner-Knip's mastery of animal portraiture, capturing the essence of feline nature.
