kittens play, too fast to paint

thanks wikimedia commons {PD:US}

We've seen Henriette Ronner-Knip before here at the Museum.  Here she is in 1899 with a loose paint sketch of "Kittens Playing," which is what I've been watching out of the corner of my eye here all morning.  What a lively piece this is - I'm particularly attracted to the brown kitten's face with its lustrous eyes and fur caught in mid-twist.  Now to save Elizabeth (no longer a tiny beast such as this, alas) from the leaps and bounds of Kat VonD.
