Refugees is a 1911 oil by Jan Rembowski, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a chaotic scene of people in motion, with many figures overlapping and crowded together. The group is diverse, with men, women, and children, all with different facial expressions and clothing. In the midst of the crowd, a wooden cart is visible, suggesting that these people are on the move, possibly fleeing from something. The overall mood of the painting is one of urgency and desperation. The artist's use of oil paint and vivid colors adds depth and emotion to the scene.
