Soldiers and Civilians 

"Soldiers and Civilians" is a pen and ink drawing by Belgian artist James Ensor, known for his expressive and often satirical style. The work depicts a crowded scene likely set in a public space, showcasing a mixture of military figures and ordinary citizens. Ensor's loose, gestural lines capture the energy and movement of the crowd, creating a sense of both chaos and order. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, playing with light and dark, adds depth and drama to the composition. This piece demonstrates Ensor's fascination with human behavior and his keen eye for social commentary.
