Fifrelin 1929

"Fifrelin" is a 1929 drawing by Belgian Symbolist painter James Ensor. Ensor is known for his grotesque and often satirical works, often featuring masks and carnival figures. This particular drawing depicts a figure in a whimsical costume with a feathered hat, holding a flower and seemingly posing for the viewer. The figure’s costume is adorned with hearts, a recurring motif in Ensor’s works, representing love and passion. The use of delicate lines and warm colors evokes a whimsical and playful atmosphere characteristic of Ensor’s artistic style.
