The family hung in a row looking as wild and crocky ...

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 ??
