Man with a Cap 

This expressive red chalk drawing, "Man with a Cap," is a characteristic work by the Belgian symbolist artist James Ensor. Ensor, known for his satirical and often grotesque imagery, captures the essence of a solitary figure with a simple yet powerful gesture. The man's upward gaze and the rapid, energetic lines of the drawing suggest a sense of contemplation, introspection, and perhaps even a hint of anxiety. Ensor’s use of red chalk adds a sense of urgency and intensity to the composition, enhancing the emotional impact of the artwork.
