A single ghost floats at the centre-right of the canvas, a draped cream sheet with round black eyes and arms held out at its sides. The tattered hem trails to the left in dry, feathery brushstrokes.

The background is almost black on the left and lifts into smudged grey-brown clouds behind the figure. The loose, scraped paint and a restrained palette of bone and charcoal make the ghost glow softly in the dark.
