Man Writing or Reading 

"Man Writing or Reading" is a charcoal drawing by Belgian symbolist artist James Ensor, known for his satirical and often grotesque imagery. The drawing depicts a solitary figure hunched over a desk, likely writing or reading, with a focus on the figure’s concentrated expression. The composition is simple yet effective, with a strong emphasis on the figure's posture, creating a sense of introspection and isolation. The drawing is reminiscent of Ensor's later works, showcasing his mastery of charcoal and his fascination with human psychology.
