Courtyard in zoo 

"Courtyard in Zoo" is a painting by the Polish artist Jacek Malczewski. The artwork depicts a desolate courtyard with a single, lone animal lying on a bed of straw in the foreground, suggesting a sense of solitude and contemplation. The muted colors and the bare trees in the background create a somber mood, while the use of light and shadow emphasizes the depth and spatial qualities of the scene. The artwork is characteristic of Malczewski's focus on symbolism and introspection in his portrayal of everyday life.
