"The Sombre Woman" (French: "La Femme sombre") is an 1881 painting by Belgian artist James Ensor. Known for his innovative and often controversial works that prefigured expressionism and surrealism, Ensor painted "The Sombre Woman" during his early artistic period, which was characterized by a focus on realism and the influence of the Old Masters.

The painting depicts a female figure, rendered with a somber and introspective mood that is conveyed through the use of muted colors and a restrained palette. The subject's expression is introspective, and her gaze is directed away from the viewer, suggesting a sense of inner contemplation or melancholy. The work is notable for its psychological depth and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which would become hallmarks of Ensor's later, more expressionistic works.

"The Sombre Woman" reflects Ensor's interest in the human condition and the complexities of emotion, themes that he would explore throughout his career. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and is considered an important work within Ensor's oeuvre for its early indication of the artist's departure from strict realism towards a more individual and expressive style.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "The Sombre Woman" is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it has been exhibited in various retrospectives of Ensor's work. The painting continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of modern art and for its insight into the artist's evolving approach to portraiture and the representation of psychological states.
