Gypsies is a 1924 oil by Antoni Kozakiewicz, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a fire outside a wooden structure. They are dressed in simple clothing and appear to be engaged in various activities, such as cooking and socializing. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a cloudy sky. In the foreground, a woman is kneeling down, tending to a child. Nearby, a man is standing, looking out at the viewer. The atmosphere of the scene is one of warmth and community, with the fire and the people's interactions creating a sense of coziness and togetherness. The artist, Antoni Kozakiewicz, has used oil paint to create this scene, which is held at the National Museum in Kraków.
