Widma w pracowni – Śmierć is a 1892 oil by Piotr Stachiewicz, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting depicts a person in a dark room, with their back turned towards the viewer. They are dressed in a long, dark coat that appears to be billowy, and their head is covered with a white cloth. The room is dimly lit, with only a sliver of light peeking through the top of the wall. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and mysterious, with the dark colors and shadows creating a sense of intrigue. The artist's use of chiaroscuro adds depth and dimension to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the figure in the center. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Piotr Stachiewicz, an artist known for his dramatic and emotive use of light and shadow.
Piotr Stachiewicz (29 October 1858, Nowosiółki Gościnne, (now Ukraine) - 14 April 1938, Kraków) was a Polish painter and illustrator.
