A charming 19th-century oil on canvas by Alfred Ronner (1851–1901), titled “Kittens Playing on the Table” and dated 1895. A delightful interior scene depicting a white long-haired mother cat and her playful kittens climbing and resting on a richly decorated gilt table beside a harp. The painting captures the warmth and intimacy of a bourgeois salon, rendered with Alfred Ronner’s characteristic precision and elegance. Ronner’s fine brushwork conveys the softness of fur, the sheen of polished furniture, and the luxurious texture of drapery and brocade with remarkable sensitivity. The gentle, diffused light enhances the quiet domestic charm that made the Ronner family famous for their feline subjects. Signed in red lower right. Presented in its original Neo-Baroque carved and gilded wooden frame, which beautifully complements the scene. Very good overall condition – the paint layer is stable and colours remain vibrant. Minor age-related wear to the frame consistent with its period. A fine and well-preserved example of late-19th-century Realist / Academic animal painting, both decorative and highly collectable.
