About the piece
Painted in 1884, James Ensor’s 'The White Cloud' is a masterclass in atmosphere and light. This early work captures the ephemeral beauty of the coast with expressive, painterly brushwork and a soft palette of cerulean and ivory, embodying the serene energy of a quiet afternoon by the sea.
