"Hamlet" is a study by Belgian symbolist painter James Ensor. The drawing shows the titular character from Shakespeare's play in profile. The figure appears to be gesturing with his right hand, possibly as he speaks his famous soliloquy. The artist uses a light touch with the pencil to create the figure, leaving much of the page blank. Ensor is best known for his grotesque and satirical paintings, though this work showcases a more restrained approach.
