This sash is based on James Ensor's painting "Christ's Entry into Brussels, 1889" which was painted in 1888 and now lives in the Getty Museum. The painting is filled with banners and signs that were painted over by the artist in his later years, though "Vive La Sociale" still appears on a bright red banner at the top of the painting. Louis looks quite regal wearing this sash over a suit.
