Vaas en voeten 1880 - 1885

"Vaas en voeten" (Vase and Feet) is a charcoal sketch created by the Belgian artist James Ensor between 1880 and 1885. The drawing depicts a still life arrangement with a vase of flowers and a pair of bare feet lying on a bed or couch. The composition is somewhat fragmented, with the vase taking up the left side of the image and the feet filling the right. The sketch is made up of quick, gestural lines, characteristic of Ensor's style. This work is a notable example of Ensor's interest in the human figure and his exploration of light and shadow.
