Ensor at his Easel 1890

This 1890 self-portrait titled "Ensor at his Easel" captures Belgian artist James Ensor in a moment of artistic creation. The painting, executed in a loose and gestural style, showcases Ensor seated in his studio, palette in hand, and brush poised above a canvas. The subject's contemplative gaze and relaxed posture suggest a deep immersion in the creative process. The blurred background and muted tones contribute to the intimate and introspective atmosphere of the scene, characteristic of Ensor's artistic practice.
