L'Ensorcelée is a 1873 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching, in red on wove paper, depicts a scene with a group of people gathered around a person lying on the ground. The atmosphere appears somber, with a sense of concern or mourning. In the background, a building with a tall tower is visible, adding to the sense of place and setting. The artist's use of red ink creates a striking contrast against the white paper, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure.
