1903
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Seven Deadly Sins is a 1903 by James Ensor, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a group of ugly, screaming faces packed together. Above them floats a grinning skull with wings, like a shadowy figure. The background looks stormy, with a spire poking up in the distance. The title hints these faces might stand for bad traits. The artist’s signature reads *James Ensor* and the date *1904*. Look up James Ensor to see more of his twisted, funny, and dark drawings.
James Sidney Edouard, Baron Ensor (13 April 1860 – 19 November 1949) was a Belgian painter and printmaker, an important influence on expressionism and surrealism who lived in Ostend for most of his life.
