1887
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1887 ink by James Ensor, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a chaotic scene of people in a wooded area. Some are on horseback, others are on foot, and they all look busy or agitated. The trees are thick, and the sky above is simple with wavy lines. There’s a mix of figures—some holding sticks, others wearing hats or riding animals. The artist used a scratchy, textured style that makes the image feel rough and alive. This technique is called etching, where lines are carved into a metal plate before inking. Look up etching to see how artists create these detailed, layered prints.
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.
