Cat and Kittens by the Curtain — Henriette Ronner-Knip Postcard

A calico mother cat keeps a watchful eye on her kittens as they tumble and climb near a lace curtain, one paw braced on an antique gilded mirror frame nearby. This lively, tender scene is by Dutch painter Henriette Ronner-Knip, celebrated for her portraits of cats at play.

The kind of card a cat person keeps rather than mails — though it makes a fine one for a fellow cat lover too.
