About the piece
Painted in 1880 during James Ensor's early 'dark period,' this still life captures the late 19th-century fascination with Asian decorative arts. The composition features a tall porcelain vase topped with a fan, surrounded by other delicate objects like a teapot and scattered figurines, all rendered with Ensor's characteristic tactile brushwork and deep, earthy tones.
