A single carved jack-o'-lantern sits off-center on the right and wears a pair of large round sunglasses in dark brown frames. Its triangular eyes and jagged smile glow softly through the lenses and carving.

The pumpkin is built from thick, sculptural strokes of peach, rust and terracotta paint. It sits against a muted, woven-linen background with worn patches. The wide empty space on the left gives the deadpan, humorous portrait room to breathe.
