"Phantom" is a work by Belgian symbolist painter James Ensor. The artwork is a pencil drawing on paper, characterized by a chaotic and swirling composition of lines. Ensor was known for his expressive and often unsettling imagery, frequently incorporating masks and other symbolic elements into his works. This drawing is a striking example of Ensor's unique style, showcasing his exploration of subconscious impulses and psychological states through abstract forms.
