There Comes the Tsar is a 1893 oil by Jacek Malczewski, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a horse-drawn carriage, surrounded by a group of people. The carriage is black, and the horse is also black, with a white rope around its neck. A man in a black hat and coat sits in the carriage, while another man in a red scarf and black hat stands beside it. The people around the carriage are dressed in dark clothing, and some of them appear to be carrying objects. The scene is set against a gray background, which suggests a cloudy or foggy day. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of solemnity and seriousness. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
