The ink drawing Youth Orpheus, Inventory No. 2711/40, by James Ensor, forms part of the collection at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp.

This piece captures the legendary musician and poet Orpheus, known from Greek mythology for his enchanting music that could charm all living things and even inanimate objects. Ensor’s interpretation likely reflects his distinctive style, which blends mythology with expressive and sometimes surreal elements, showcasing his ability to imbue classical themes with a modern perspective.
