De aanbidding der herders 1888

James Ensor's 1888 etching, "De aanbidding der herders," depicts a scene of the Adoration of the Shepherds. In a dark and shadowy space, a group of figures gather around a central light source. Ensor's unique style is evident in the use of bold, expressive lines and a sense of movement that brings the scene to life. The artist's signature, visible in the lower right corner, adds a personal touch to the work. This print is a powerful example of Ensor's artistic vision and his mastery of the etching technique.
