Outline of an Ornament 

"Outline of an Ornament" is a striking ink drawing by the Belgian symbolist artist James Ensor, known for his grotesque and often satirical imagery. This minimalist sketch showcases Ensor's masterful line work, capturing a sense of movement and energy in the sinuous curves of a figure that remains largely undefined. The artist's exploration of form and abstraction within the boundaries of a single line creates a sense of both intimacy and mystery. The drawing's subtle details, along with the aged paper, invite viewers to contemplate the origins and possible meanings of this enigmatic symbol.
