"Ensor’s Sister at the Keyboard" is a graphite drawing by Belgian artist James Ensor (1860-1949). The drawing captures a figure, likely Ensor's sister, from the back, in profile, with her hair pulled back in a bun and wearing a hat. She sits at a keyboard, though the artist only faintly sketches the instrument. The work's gestural quality and the use of hatching, visible in the clothing and surrounding area, contribute to its expressiveness, perhaps suggesting an intimate and private moment. The drawing is a testament to Ensor's skill in capturing both form and emotion through a simple medium.
