"Krakow Morgue" is a drawing by Polish painter Jan Matejko (1838-1893), depicting a narrow, cobblestone street in Krakow, Poland. The scene features a stark, almost desolate, building with a dark doorway and a single, hooded figure standing in the foreground. Matejko's meticulous detail brings to life the textured surfaces and architectural elements of the street, capturing the somber mood of the scene. His work often depicted historical events and figures, and this drawing reflects his interest in the everyday details of Polish life.
