Still Life, Mirror, Seated Figure 

This is a pencil sketch by Belgian artist James Ensor, known for his often grotesque and satirical works. The work features a still life of a table with a pitcher, a glass, a bowl of fruit, and a plate. In the upper left corner a mirror reflects another still life. A seated figure appears in the upper right corner, likely a self-portrait. Ensor’s unique style is evident in the rough, gestural lines and the use of light and shadow. The composition is dynamic, with the objects arranged in a seemingly random way. This sketch captures the essence of Ensor’s artistic style, highlighting his interest in everyday objects and their potential for symbolic meaning.
