This is the figurine of Noortje, the Norwegian Wood cat of the talented Dutch artist Francien van Westering. Although I have all eight of the collection, I must admit I like her drawings better than the figurines. I'm not sure who creates and produces them, but I don't think i's she herself.

Thank you, GG. Yes, I agree, it definitely is wonderfully done and I'm actually in awe how that cusion where she's lying on is done!
I prefer the drawing too, thanks! ☺☺

I compared this figurine with the puzzle of Nootje, and I must say they are quite similar, especially the mouths and markings! I do prefer the drawing, though! Thanks, Impie!!

Impie

Yeah, Betty, thank you ♥☺♥

The figurine is beautiful and I agree with you, the drawings are better.

It's my pleasure, Nancy, I just had to wait for the moment to take a photo indoors without using a flash. I'm glad you like it:-))

Thanks, Anne, I thought I had nine, but the collection contains eight...oh well.
I have a birthday calendar on the door of the restroom, which is of 2003 and there's also a drawings of Noortje already too...I wonder whether she's still alive.

A very pretty figurine. I love these cats....so big and cuddly, but independent.

It is a pretty figurine, but I agree.....Noortje is far prettier/handsome in the calendar drawing. Maybe it is also the pose or perhaps it was just too hard to translate Francien's art into a figurine. Still, it was fun to see the figurine. Thank you for taking the time to photograph and share! :-))

@calluna Nancy, this is the figurine of Noortje we were talking about the other day! :-))
