Woman with Downcast Gaze 

"Woman with Downcast Gaze" is a charcoal drawing by Belgian artist James Ensor (1860-1949). The artwork is a study in expressive lines and shading, capturing the artist's unique style. The drawing depicts a woman with her head bowed, her face obscured by the shadowy strokes of the artist's hand. The background is composed of abstract lines that suggest a sense of isolation and melancholy, a signature element in Ensor's works. The overall effect of the drawing is one of introspective solitude.
