Ostend, View from the Station 

"Ostend, View from the Station" is a simple yet evocative sketch by Belgian symbolist painter James Ensor. The work depicts a harbor scene with minimal detail. A building with several windows is situated on the left, a dock extends towards the water, and several small boats are anchored in the harbor. The quick lines and subtle shading lend a sense of immediacy and informality to the drawing. The minimal yet expressive style of the sketch reveals Ensor's ability to convey a feeling of place with just a few strokes.
