This pencil sketch titled "Ophelia" by Belgian artist James Ensor, known for his expressive and sometimes grotesque style, is a study of the tragic heroine from Shakespeare's Hamlet. While details are unclear, the subject's pose and downturned head evoke the character's melancholic state, her demise foreshadowed by the hand holding a thread in the upper right corner. Ensor's signature hatching technique creates a sense of emotional turmoil.
