Hello everybody.
I'm reading 'Little Women' by Louisa May Alcott chapter 26.
Charcoal portraits came next, and the entire family hung in a row, looking as wild and crocky as if just evoked from a coalbin.
Would you please tell me the meaning of the above?
Did Amey ( the painter) drew the family in a row and the portrait looked so wild and crocky that if we had seen it , we would have thought of it as a coalbin?
Thanks ??

Amy drew each family member using charcoal on paper. She hung the pictures in a row. The people in the pictures looked unkempt and sooty. They looked like they had been brought out of a coalbin.
