"Poes met vijf jongen" door Henriëtte Ronner-Knip

Henriëtte Ronner-Knip (31 May 1821, Amsterdam - 2 March 1909, Elsene) was a Dutch painter.

Born Henriëtte Knip in Amsterdam, she moved at a young age to Den Bosch and was until 1850 active in Sint-Michielsgestel and Boxtel. That year she married Feico Ronner and moved to Belgium, first to Brussels and in 1878 to Elsene. She studied with her father, Joseph August Knip.

She was best known for her paintings of subjects from nature, especially cats and dogs.

Reksio (on the right) is a Polish cartoon character from the TV animated series by the same title. Reksio was created by a Polish director Lechosław Marszałek. Its 65 episodes were made from 1967 to 1990 in a Cartoon Movies Studio (Studio Filmów Rysunkowych) in Bielsko-Biała. All episodes describe adventures of a friendly, piebald terrier dog named Reksio, with his animal friends - hens, cats, other dogs and their owners.
