Relaxation is a 1900 oil by Jacek Malczewski, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a man sitting at a desk, wearing a white shirt and looking down. He has a thick beard and his right arm is resting on the desk, with his hand curled into a fist. A black cuff is visible on his right wrist. The man's expression is serious, and he appears to be concentrating on something in front of him. The background of the painting is a muted green color, which adds to the overall sense of calmness. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
