Christ’s Entry into Jerusalem 1885

Belgian symbolist artist James Ensor's 1885 charcoal drawing, *Christ’s Entry into Jerusalem*, depicts a crowded scene of people, with a strong focus on faces. The work, executed in dark tones and hatchings, creates a sense of unease and confusion. The artist’s fascination with masks is evident in the depictions of the figures, with the details of their expressions hinting at a deeper, symbolic message.
