Phantoms in the Studio – Despair is a 1892 unspecified by Piotr Stachiewicz, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a woman in a long, dark dress standing in a dimly lit room. She is holding a bundle of leaves in her hands, and there are more leaves scattered on the floor around her. The room appears to be some sort of studio, with various objects and furniture in the background. The woman's face is not clearly visible, but her posture and the way she is holding the leaves suggest a sense of sadness or despair. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of melancholy and introspection. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman and the leaves she is holding.
Piotr Stachiewicz (29 October 1858, Nowosiółki Gościnne, (now Ukraine) - 14 April 1938, Kraków) was a Polish painter and illustrator.
