"James Ensor Impressionist 'little Girl With A Pink Bow' Painted Box (1880-90)."
A delicate and refined oil painting on a fruitwood box with gilded edges. During his youth, the great Belgian artist decorated several objects for his parents' souvenir shop, and this superb painted box demonstrates Ensor's remarkable ability to express himself as a seasoned Impressionist, in the manner of Monet and the French "Greats" such as Manet and Degas. Ensor was only a superb Impressionist for a brief period in his career, later moving towards Symbolism and Expressionism. Ensor represents an artistic figure of extraordinary depth, with a multifaceted evolution and quality that only a handful of painters have expressed in their art.
