Though he is mostly well known for his paintings, he was a prolific and accomplished printmaker. Ensor himself recognized that the prints were a key part of his artistic legacy, stating in 1934: "Yes, my intention is to go on working for a long time yet so that generations to come may hear me. My intention is to survive, and I think of the solid copper plate, the unalterable ink, easy reproduction, faithful prints, and I adopt etching as a means of expression."
