Belgian artist James Ensor created a striking ink drawing titled "Lion" sometime between 1860 and 1949. Ensor's signature style is evident in the energetic, expressive lines that define the lion's form. The artist utilizes a rapid and loose technique, capturing the animal's powerful presence with quick strokes and dynamic shading. The lion's fur, rendered with detailed hatching, evokes a sense of both wildness and vulnerability. This drawing exemplifies Ensor's fascination with the grotesque and the macabre, which he explored throughout his artistic career.
