Ensor usually based his graphics on his own drawings, or derived certain motifs from them. As far as is known, however, Ensor drew few landscapes. In view of the relatively large number of landscape etchings (about 20), it seems as if the artist went straight into nature with the etching plate. When he was in Brussels, he worked at the Parc Léopold, near the home of the Rousseau family and in the municipalities of Watermael-Boitsfort and Groenendael.
