Mijn portret in 1960 1888

"Mijn portret in 1960" (My Portrait in 1960), created in 1888 by Belgian artist James Ensor, is a self-portrait in the form of a skeletal figure. Ensor was known for his often unsettling and satirical works, frequently incorporating death and grotesque imagery. This etching, while not a literal depiction of Ensor, reflects his fascination with mortality and the darker side of human nature. The skeletal figure, reclining in a stylized pose, suggests a contemplation of time and existence, typical of Ensor's exploration of symbolism and psychological themes in his art.
