Skeletons in the Studio is a 1900 oil by James Ensor, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Canada.
This painting shows a cluttered room with a table in the center. The table is covered with various objects, including a violin, a watering can, and a plate. There are also several skeletons scattered around the room, some of which are holding objects or posing in different positions. The walls of the room are yellow, and there are several masks hanging on them. The room appears to be some kind of studio or workshop, with various art supplies and tools scattered around. The skeletons add a sense of eeriness and playfulness to the scene. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of energy and movement in the painting. To learn more about the artist's style and technique, look up James Ensor.
