Condemned cell II is a 1890 oil by Mihály Munkácsy, a Realism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
The painting depicts a somber scene of a man sitting at a table, surrounded by a group of people. The man appears to be in a state of distress, with his head in his hands and a look of despair on his face. The group around him seems to be watching him with a mix of concern and curiosity. The atmosphere of the painting is one of tension and unease, with the dim lighting and muted colors contributing to the sense of foreboding. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. This painting is held at the Hungarian National Gallery.
