Fallen Arab Horseman with Cavorting Horse 

This pen and ink drawing by Belgian artist James Ensor (1860-1949) depicts a fallen Arab horseman and his cavorting horse. The dynamic lines of the drawing create a sense of movement and energy, even in the stillness of the fallen figure. The artist's use of expressive lines and gestural marks evokes a sense of drama and pathos, highlighting the vulnerability of the fallen horseman. This sketch exemplifies Ensor's mastery of line and his ability to convey emotion through a minimal amount of detail. The work is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and communicate the human condition.
