Danger Passed (Danger passe)

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a skeletal figure standing in a cloak in the foreground and a man riding a horse. The lines are dense and sketchy, creating a textured effect on the cloak. A man on horseback is behind the skeletal figure, looking back. The background has loosely drawn clouds. The style is reminiscent of James Ensor.
