Kim Kardashian is hitting back at critics who suspect her daughter North West didn't paint a detailed mountain scene shared to the reality TV star's social media. 

"My little artist North," Kim captioned an image of the canvas, quickly prompting accusations that the artwork simply couldn't have been done by a seven-year-old.

"I will bet anything (even my life) that this painting was not done by North West," one tweet about the painting read. 

"I'm supposed to work but I can't stop thinking about how North West did not paint this," another wrote. 

The claims enraged Kim, who fired back with a lengthy rant on her Instagram Story. 

"DON'T PLAY WITH ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY CHILDREN!!!" she began.

"My daughter and her best friend have been taking a serious oil painting class where their talents and creativity are being encouraged and nurtured.

"North worked incredibly hard on her painting, which took several weeks to complete. As a proud mom, I wanted to share her work with everyone."

Referring to the authors of articles questioning the authenticity of North's artwork, Kim asked: "How dare you see children doing awesome things and then try to accuse them of NOT being awesome!?" 

"Please stop embarrassing yourselves with the negativity and allow every child to be GREAT. NORTH WEST PAINTED THAT PERDIOTDDDABCDEFGZFDT!" 

A furious Kim went on to share a screenshot of a Daily Mail article that used the quote 'North West did not paint this' in the headline, captioning it: "THIS IS THE HEADLINE?! DOUBTING MY CHILD."

Not yet satisfied, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star shared a photo of North's friend Ryan's almost identical painting to prove they had both been taught the same techniques by their art teacher. 

"Shout out to all the proud moms out there that love to show their baby's masterpieces," she added, even sharing a "throwback" to some artwork by North's father Kanye West, which he is said to have made when he was a kid.
